    Ruaha National Park is so peaceful and uncrowded that it felt like we had the whole forest to ourselves! We flew from Zanzibar, the flight and pickup were all on time. The guide took us to all the places where we could see lions, elephants, kudu up close. Amazing experience!

    Even though I traveled alone, I felt like family on the group tour of Silver Sky Travel. The flight from Zanzibar and then to Ruaha National Park - the whole journey was very well organized. The guide's description and experience have made every moment of the jungle come alive for all of us. Lions, elephants, kudu - so many animals seen from close quarters for the first time in life! Accommodation and food were comfortable, and we had a great time with new friends throughout the tour. This is a great option for solo travelers.

    We flew directly from Zanzibar to Ruaha and that's where our dream safari began. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw elephants, lions, giraffes, and even hyenas! The hotel was comfortable and the food was amazing. This safari with the family was the best experience of our lives. Thank you very much to Silver Sky Travel.

    It's a great Ruaha Safari experience. 3 days of Silver Sky Travel. The Ruaha National Park Safari was a great experience. Our tour starts with a flight from Zanzibar, where we see many wild animals, including elephants, lions, and giraffes. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Accommodation was comfortable and quiet. This tour is suitable for travelers of any age - I would definitely recommend!

    Asked on August 10th, 2023

    I am getting married in Dar Es Salaam in August 2025. We got engaged in Mdonya Old River camp and are looking to return and bring the family after the wedding. I was wondering if there were any group/honeymoon discounts available as there will be 10-12 people coming with us on safari.

    • Silver Sky TravelOperatorWritten August 2023

      We have considered your request and we can offer you a discount of $200 on this group price. The price further come down if you opt to travel by road from Dar es salaam to Ruaha instead of flight.

      TravelerWritten August 2023

      Can I have an idea as to the price if we travel by road? I am gathering as much information as possible so I can give my family a few options. Could I know price by road for 2 nights 3 days, and price by road for 3 nights 4 days?

    • Silver Sky TravelOperatorWritten August 2023

      If you opt to travel by road, the cost for the group will be as below. 3 days/2 nights - US$11,840. 4 days/3 nights - US$17,470. Please note its 10 hours journey from Dar es salaam to Ruaha by mini coaster bus (25 passengers). I hope it won't affect your timetable.
