Ask any safari traveller which animal they’re most hoping to glimpse while on safari, and you’re likely to hear lion more often than not.

Against a backdrop of plummeting vulture numbers worldwide Ruaha National Park and southern Tanzania are lights in an otherwise gloomy tale.
Currently vultures are the fastest declining group of birds in the world. The IUCN Red List was updated in 2015 to indicate that of the eleven African species four are now listed as critically endangered and three as endangered.
Every week we select the best safari moments captured by our guests and guides.
We update our Asilia Africa Facebook Page with these new shots so keep checking our page for the latest ones!
Enjoy the highlights of October 2015 below.
Ruaha National Park is a beautiful stretch of wilderness, home to a large population of elephants, African wild dog and sable antelope and studded with baobab. It lies at the heart of a 150,000 square kilometer wildlife area that stretches from Selous in the east to Katavi N.P. in the west. At 20,226 square kilometers, it is a candidate for the largest national park in Africa, but it’s remoteness has kept it less congested than its more famous northern cousins.
