Poor roads especially during rainy season
Wide range and variety of animals just found in Nyanza
Awful service, awful park, awful lady guard. Really disapointed. We arrive there around 10 in the morning. We were charged 8 times more money for the entrance ticket just because we were musumbu (white tourist). For local were 300kes, us we were charged 2375kes per person plus 300kes for the car.
They didn't accepted cash money. And the card payment wasn't accepted either. So we had do hire a piki piki to go elsewhere and put some money into their account. We finally went through the park around 12:30. They gave us a panphlet of information of another park. Not Ruma's. No further information, no maps, anything. We got in hoping there will be signals of the routes to be followed to see the animals, but it wasn't like that. We saw some jiraffs and some gazelles. But anything else. We got the impression that we might haven't seen everything. As I said, there were no signals. So we went back to ask the awfull and unfriendly woman guard in the door. She looked at us and say nothing. Just say that at that time of the day, the animals might be asleep.
That we could hire a guide, or buy the map. That information wasn't given when we arrived. So we truly believe, that all she cared was about the money (more than 9000kes).
It's great place to witness the goodness of nature, a place to reconnect with the beauty of God's creation
Visit ruma to enjoy our wildlife
It have an amazing with awesome views of the hills behind stretching to the horizons
The cool breeze from the lake makes the trip complete
The best travel destination
The place has such an amazing view of wild Animals
Lots of zebras and Giraffes. Not recommended without an SUV. Guard was friendly and helpful. It's difficult to find from the North-West entrance though.
A great spot for a self driven safari. With the proper vehicle (high clear is a must), you can explore the park pretty quickly and see all the animals it has to offer. Rhinos, leopards, Giraffe and others!
