Being Kenya’s only remaining sanctuary for the endangered roan antelope, Ruma National Park lies on the flat floor of the seasonally watered Lambwe River Valley bordered by the Kanyamwa Escarpment to the South-East, and by the volcanic plugs of the Ruri Hills to the north. It is located in western Kenya, close to the shores of Lake Victoria. Woven by a mosaic of landscapes that range from riverine woodland to the dramatically rolling savannah to magnificent escarpments and towering cliffs, Ruma promises undiscovered wildlife treasures and undisturbed peace.
