ruma national park

The roan antelopes , giraffe and lush hilly landscape of the park is interesting but it is remotely located ,very small and has few animals to see

Ruma National Park was cheap for a safari and we did see a few animals however we sharp got bored after a while. I wouldn't go back on this activity however I am glad I did it. Plus it was all I could afford at the time.

Next time you are in Western Kenya region, you definitely want to visit this park and get to see the topi antelope as well as other animals. This is the only place in Kenya to see it so it is worth it. Thing is, they are few and very secretive. You will need patience and a good spotter. The journey there is quite long but worth the trip. There is a KWS guest house where you can stay. The sunset vantage point is incredible and you won't want to miss the sunset even if you are on a game drive, it was definitely very striking when I visited. In fact, there is a specific spot near the house where it is best viewed from.

Very scenic and calming experience. Combined this trip with a visit to Thimlich Ohinga historic site and Mfangano Island where we saw Rock Art, Museums and other historic sites of interest.The National Park was serene and very peaceful, saw various antelopes and gazelles. Saw giraffes, gazelles, antelopes and various birds.Very nice if you want to explore the unbeaten path. Not crowded which is perfect for game viewing.Enjoy

A quiet and unspoilt area with the chance to see animals (giraffe, zabra, antelope, rhino etc) in a natural habital
