Ruma National Park Tour
1 Day from $ 290 / person sharing
Take a fascinating one-day tour to Ruma National Park, nestled in the Kenyan countryside. Ruma National Park is a place of breathtaking landscapes and rich biodiversity, home to the critically endangered Roan antelope-one of Africa’s most elusive and majestic creatures. These beautiful antelopes, with their striking black-and-white facial markings and impressive curved horns, are hardly ever seen and hence a true highlight for any wildlife enthusiast and nature lover.
As you explore the park, the rolling savannahs, dense woodlands, and scenic views of the Kanyamwa Escarpment will strike a chord in your heart. This unspoiled paradise offers just the right ecosystem for not only the Roan antelope to thrive but also other great wildlife like giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and various bird species. The serenity of the park ensures that it is an ideal escape for those seeking tranquility away from the noise of city life.
Sited only a short drive from Kisumu, Ruma National Park is a place that no tourist in western Kenya should miss. Beautiful scenery, rare wildlife, and quiet serenity ensure that this adventure will never be forgotten. Whether an avid traveler, enthusiastic photographer, or one who simply wants to connect with nature, this tour offers the chance to see in splendor one of Kenya’s less-visited jewels. Do not miss this opportunity to experience the magic of Ruma National Park, a true sanctuary of beauty and wonder.

Itinerary Details:
-
Depart Kisumu at 6 a.m., passing through Kendu Bay and Homabay on your way to Ruma National Park’s Kamato Gate for a lengthy wildlife drive. Ruma National Park, a country of rolling Savannah filled with magnificent Acacias and backed by majestic hills, epitomizes the iconic image of East Africa. The park is a unique patchwork of dreamy woodland, golden Savannah, and spectacular Escarpments, and it is easily crossed by only two major routes. It is a park that thrives in tranquility and individual enjoyment of the wilderness while being off the usual tourist trail and relatively little visited. Lunch will be served in the Park at a comfortable picnic location. After the game drive, return to Kisumu or travel to Mbita Point to connect with an onward ferry to Kisumu via Seme to see the spectacular Kit Mikayi Rock. In the evening, we arrive in Kisumu to conclude your journey.

What our clients say about us
Kenya Wild Parks Really Knows How to Create the Perfect Kenyan Holiday!
From the very first conversation with Erick, we knew a truly bespoke trip was being crafted for us. Within an hour of submitting our online booking form, I received a detailed draft itinerary filled with suggestions for destinations and activities tailored to our interests. We were traveling with our two grown children and their partners, each arriving from different parts of the country. Despite the complexity, everything went smoothly from the start. Upon arrival, we were warmly received by Erick and Collins for a meet and greet. Erick gave us a thorough briefing on what to expect during our journey. Our adventure began with a flight to Lewa, where we spent three incredible nights, an unforgettable experience. From there, we flew to Amboseli, staying at Angama Amboseli, which exceeded every expectation. The accommodation was truly 5-star in every sense; we only wished we could have stayed longer! Next, we flew to Angama Mara, another world-class stay. The Mara never disappoints, and this visit met our highest standards. Erick stayed in touch throughout our trip, checking in regularly to ensure everything was running perfectly—a gesture we greatly appreciated, especially as seasoned travelers. This was a bucket-list trip that far exceeded our greatest expectations. While it seemed expensive at first, we can confidently say it was worth every penny.
A well organized personal trip to Kenya
The service we received from Kenya Wild Parks was excellent. Working with Erick made everything completely stress-free, he carefully laid out each step, including the timing, to ensure smooth planning. He handled all our bookings, from the lodges (one recommended by friends and another he suggested) to flights, transfers, and even small details like extra day trips, immunizations, packing tips, and tipping guidelines. Their website is comprehensive and very user-friendly, making the process even easier. Whenever we had additional questions - especially as our departure neared - Erick responded promptly and thoroughly, no matter how minor our query was. We’ll definitely be using Kenya Wild Parks again in the future!
Lasting Memories – Safari in Kenya
Collins was absolutely wonderful to work with. From the very start of planning until the moment we returned home, he communicated with us every step of the way. All of our questions were answered quickly, and we felt well-prepared for everything. He also gave us great recommendations on some of the best places to shop during our downtime in Nairobi. Thanks to Collins, and all the team at Kenya Wild Parks our safari was seamless and truly unforgettable.
Holiday of a lifetime.
Holiday of a lifetime. We were in Kenya for just 4 full days, but Erick & the team at Kenya Wild parks ensured the agenda was full & extremely memorable: the team accompanied us through full planning of internal flights & transfers, camp booking, and final day in nairobi with excursions & restaurants included. The partner lodge, Entim Mara was spectacular. The lodge is located within the masai reserve, meaning wildlife (hippos, elephants, giraffes, monkeys …) at our doorstep, and the feeling that the safari never ended. Food, comfort & hospitality also all 5*. Game drives were fantastic: from the moment of getting off the plane & drive to the lodge, we were already met with such a variety of wildlife. What we appreciated most was that we had both a driver and a scout. Both very experienced and able to read the signals of wildlife rather than following vehicles, meaning that we were able to see some spectacular events such as a Lion kill, with no other cars around us. Thank you for a special holiday.
Personalized, Stress-Free, and Unforgettable
I felt like Kenya Wild Parks was with me every step of the way. Erick prepared me so well for what to expect and took the time to understand what mattered most to me. Their detailed itinerary made me feel like I already ‘knew’ each place before I arrived. With seamless transportation and knowledgeable guides, everything was effortless. At first, I was a bit skeptical about direct booking and even considered going through a U.S. agency. But the expertise and personal touch from Kenya Wild Parks made all the difference. Erick’s availability and quick responses to all our questions gave me complete confidence. I’m already excited to book with them again!
Incredible first-time safari to Kenya!
Service from start to finish was amazing! Everyone along the way was so helpful and accommodating! Erick went above and beyond to create the trip of our dreams! Our guide for all of the game drives, Simon, was incredible! We are already dreaming about our next African adventure. We shall be back soon!
