You will be met on arrival in Dar es Salaam and transferred to the nearby domestic airport for the flight to Ruaha. (NB. Depending on your international flight schedule, it may be necessary to include a night in Dar es Salaam or Arusha at the start of your itinerary.) Your driver/guide from Mdonya Old River Camp will waiting at the Ruaha airstrip to greet you with a picnic lunch – ready to start your safari as soon as you land!   Ruaha is the second largest game park in Tanzania, and offers a game-viewing experience equal to its size. It has one of the largest populations of elephant of any park in Africa, while the densely forested environment also attracts various antelope, as well as plentiful giraffe and buffalo. The terrain is particularly good for sighting predators, including lion, occasionally leopard, and very occasionally African wild dog.   Enjoy a short game drive en route to Mdonya Old River Camp, a small bush camp set in the western region of Ruaha, and your home for the next three nights
