The second area is strategically located atop the largest kopje in the area, at a bend, and offers commanding views down two sections of the river. This is surely the best sundowner spot in Ruaha.

Best time for safari in Ruaha

Ruaha National Park can be visited at any time of year; however, the best time for game viewing is during the dry season from June to

December, when wildlife converges on the dwindling water reserves, notably the river in front of the Lodge.
