Ruaha is well known for its varied dramatic scenery ranging from rolling hills, large open plains and baobab trees to the Great Ruaha River. As the climate is very hot and dry, animal sightings fairly easy as the wildlife tends to stay close to the water sources. Ruaha has large herds of elephants, vast concentrations of buffalo, gazelle, and over 400 bird species. Activities: Shared morning and evening game drivesMafia Island – 4 Nights

Sharks and dolphins are found in the deeper waters, and at night turtles crawl onto remote beaches to nest. Mafia is your perfect tropical island for an undisturbed beach holiday and to enjoy friendly farming and fishing villages.
