Hoʻomaka ka nānā ʻana i ka pāʻani i ka manawa e pae ai ka mokulele. Holo kekahi giraffe ma ka ʻaoʻao o ke kahua mokulele, nā wāwae a me ka ʻāʻī a pau, akā he nani ke ʻano i kona mālama pono ʻole. Hele mai kahi laina o nā zebra ma ke ala holo ma hope o ke giraffe. Ma kahi mamao, ma lalo o kahi lāʻau baobab nui, hana kekahi mau ʻelele o nā ʻelepani he 10,000 o Ruaha - ka heluna nui loa o nā paka aupuni o ʻApelika Hikina - i kahi hui palekana a puni kā lākou mau keiki.
ʻO ka lua wale nō iā Katavi ma kona ʻano o ka wao nahele ʻaʻohe ona wahi i hoʻopuni ʻia, akā ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ke komo ʻana, pale ʻo Ruaha i kahi ʻāpana nui o ka ʻāina ulu lāʻau paʻakikī a maloʻo hoʻi e hōʻike ana i ke kikowaena o Tanzania. ʻO kona koko ola ka Muliwai Nui ʻo Ruaha, kahi e kahe ana ma ka palena hikina i loko o kahi kahawai wai i ka wā nui o ka ua, akā e emi ana ma hope o ia mea i kahi ʻano o nā loko wai makamae i hoʻopuni ʻia e kahi one a me ka pōhaku. He pūnaewele maikaʻi o nā alanui nānā holoholona e hahai ana i ka Nui ʻo Ruaha a me kona mau kahawai kau, kahi - i ka wā maloʻo - impala, waterbuck a me nā antelope ʻē aʻe e hoʻoweliweli i ko lākou ola no kahi inu wai ola. A he nui ka pilikia: ʻaʻole wale mai nā liona he 20 a ʻoi e noho aliʻi ana ma luna o ka savannah, akā mai nā cheetah e hahai ana i ka lau nahele ākea a me nā leopards e peʻe ana i loko o nā ululāʻau muliwai. Hoʻoikaika ʻia kēia ʻano kupaianaha o nā mea ʻaihue nui e nā hyena kaha a me nā hyena kiko, a me kekahi mau ʻīlio hihiu ʻApelika i hoʻopau nui ʻia.
ʻO ke ʻano like ʻole o ka antelope o Ruaha he hana ia o kona wahi, kahi e neʻe ai i ka savannah acacia o ʻApelika Hikina a me ke kāʻei ululāʻau miombo o ʻApelika Hema. Loaʻa ka gazelle a Grant a me ka liʻiliʻi kudu ma ʻaneʻi ma ka hema loa o ko lākou wahi, me ka sable a me ka roan antelope e pili ana iā miombo, a me kekahi o nā heluna nui loa o ʻApelika Hikina o ka nui o ka kudu nui, ka hōʻailona o ka paka, i ʻike ʻia e nā pepeiaohao corkscrew nani o ke kāne. Ua ʻike ʻia kahi duality like ma ka papa inoa o 450 mau manu: nā mea like me ka crested barbet - he manu melemele-a-ʻeleʻele hoihoi nona ka trilling mau he leo ʻano o ka nahele hema - e kū nei ma Ruaha me nā endemics waena o Tanzania e like me ka lovebird melemele-collared a me ka lehu starling.
