Ruma National Park

Unknown animal treasures and undisturbed serenity

Ruma National Park is a hitherto untrampled wedge of Kenya, bedecked with ecological importance, quietly set in Lambwe River Valley. It is reputed to be a rare and varied wildlife destination and the last refuge for Kenya’s population of roan antelope. The wet valley seasonal area, majestically set by the Kanyamwa Escarpment to the south and volcanic Ruri Hills to the north presents a very interesting backdrop for exploration.

This biodiversity wealth for Ruma extends past mammals into an enviable avifauna. Birders are attracted to the park because it is the only protected abode of the globally threatened blue swallow in Kenya.
This uncommon intra-African migrant adorns the skies between April and September, having flown from their breeding grounds in Southern Tanzania. Ruma is an important stronghold for their survival, where feeding and roosting take place in moist, grassy areas.

Diverse ecosystems coupled with wild beauty make this park an ideal destination for those in search of a completely different kind of safari from the usual one.
The remoteness affords visitors the privilege of being in close touch with nature in a setting that is intimate and unspoiled. From the graceful roan antelope to spying on a rare bird, from serene landscapes to many other memorable moments, Ruma National Park promises a journey into memory within Kenya’s little-known wilderness.
