Ruma National Park, National park in Nyanza Province, Kenya.
The Lambwe Valley holds Ruma National Park, spanning 120 square kilometers of grasslands, rolling hills, and woodland patches near Lake Victoria.
The protected area began as Lambwe Valley Game Reserve in 1966 before receiving national park status in 1983 to safeguard endangered roan antelopes.
The park takes its name from Gor Mahia, a traditional medicine practitioner who lived in the surrounding region during earlier times.
Visitors require a four-wheel-drive vehicle to navigate the roads, and should bring supplies as the park offers limited tourist facilities.
Ruma National Park stands as the single terrestrial national park in Nyanza Province and provides refuge to over 400 bird species.
