Ruaha National Park is the largest national park in Tanzania. The addition of the Usangu Game Reserve and other important wetlands to the park in 2008 increased its size to about 20,226 square kilometres (7,809 sq mi), making it the largest park in Tanzania and East Africa.
Ruaha, being semi-arid offers a wonderful contrast to Selous. It used to be home to over 40,000 elephants but the population is now much reduced, estimated to be about 15,000 in 2015.
