点评:This review is about our last two experiences in Ruaha. We came with concern in February 2024 because the rains had created muddy roads and limited access to Ruaha and inside Ruaha. What an adventure!!! We spent an hour watching wild dogs playing, fighting, and hunting not 100 feet from our vehicle. Have never seen that before! We had seen wild dogs but never like this. In all of almost 75 trips to national parks in East Africa, never had we shared an afternoon with a leopard hunting. Yes, the lions, the elephants, giraffes, and all the animals. We were shocked given the "rains" Plus we had the beauty of the River flowing by the camp. The birds were alive with sound. The sunrise and sunset were beautiful over all the green and flowers. We realized that Ruaha and Mwagusi has so much to offer regardless of the season.
The second adventure was just a month ago in November 2024. There had been a slight rain a few days earlier. The Baobab trees were in bloom. Unlike February, the River was dry except a small pool here or there. We watched the Elephants dig for water--get their fill--and then watched as the other animals took advantage of the Elephant wells. Our sightings of hippos and crocs were incredible. Hippos enjoying the sun out the water and challenging one another in the water. Again, leopard, lions, all the animals. Two male kudus, who are two of the most majestic animals, put on a display for us in full view in the dry river bed. What is amazing is the colors of the sky and how it changes during the seasons. The brilliant sunrise and sunset as creation gives a panorama of color. Nothing compares to resting in your banda and seeing Ruaha come alive in the morning or hear the night life of Ruaha--so restful and unbelievable relaxation.
My wife and I usually bring with us groups of 4 to 14 to experience an incredible and unparalleled experience each time with our friend, Chris Fox, family, and staff at Mwagusi. Actually, Chris, Rosie, Freddie, and the staff are more like family after coming multiple times per year for almost 20 years. Being with Chris and the staff always adds to our understanding in real terms of our role as a part of this beautiful creation. Of all the parks and camps, Mwagusi is without equal with it's openness, friendliness, and passion for sharing the beauty and responsibility for that beauty. The trip and time is always an incredible, inspiring, and relaxing adventure.
A special part of going to Mwagusi and Ruaha National Park is it's remoteness. Every trip has it's own unique offering no matter how many times you go.
翻译:这篇评论是关于我们在鲁阿哈的最后两次经历。2024 年 2 月,我们怀着担忧来到鲁阿哈,因为下雨导致道路泥泞,限制了进入鲁阿哈和鲁阿哈内部的通道。真是一次冒险!!!我们花了一个小时看野狗在离我们的车不到 100 英尺的地方玩耍、打架和狩猎。以前从未见过!我们见过野狗,但从来没有像这样。在近 75 次前往东非国家公园的旅行中,我们从未与猎豹共度一个下午。是的,狮子、大象、长颈鹿和所有动物。考虑到“雨”,我们感到震惊。此外,我们欣赏到了营地旁流淌的河流的美景。鸟儿们的声音很动听。日出和日落在所有的绿色和鲜花上都很美。我们意识到,无论什么季节,鲁阿哈和姆瓦古西都有很多东西可以提供。
第二次冒险就在一个月前的 2024 年 11 月。几天前下了一场小雨。猴面包树开花了。与二月不同,河水干涸了,除了零星的小水潭。我们看着大象挖水喝——喝饱了——然后看着其他动物利用大象的水井。我们看到了河马和鳄鱼,真是太不可思议了。河马在水里享受阳光,在水中互相挑战。还有豹子、狮子,所有的动物。两只雄性捻角羚,它们是两种最雄伟的动物,在干涸的河床上为我们展现了一场盛宴。令人惊叹的是天空的颜色以及它在四季中的变化。灿烂的日出和日落造就了一幅色彩斑斓的全景。没有什么比在班达休息,看着鲁阿哈在早晨活跃起来,或听到鲁阿哈的夜生活更令人放松的了——如此宁静和令人难以置信的放松。
我和我的妻子通常带领 4 到 14 人的团队,与我们的朋友 Chris Fox、家人和 Mwagusi 的工作人员一起体验令人难以置信的无与伦比的体验。实际上,Chris、Rosie、Freddie 和工作人员每年来这里多次,已经将近 20 年了,他们更像是家人。与 Chris 和工作人员在一起总是让我们真正理解我们作为这个美丽创造的一部分所扮演的角色。在所有的公园和营地中,Mwagusi 的开放性、友好性和分享美丽和对美丽负责的热情是无与伦比的。旅行和时间总是一次令人难以置信、鼓舞人心和放松的冒险。
前往 Mwagusi 和 Ruaha 国家公园的一个特别之处在于它地处偏远。无论您去多少次,每次旅行都有自己独特的体验。
