Ruma National Park, National park in Nyanza Province, Kenya.

Ruma National Park lies in the Lambwe Valley, about 10 km east of Lake Victoria in Homa Bay County. Its savanna landscape is crossed by rivers and dotted with hills and isolated woodland patches. The park covers the only remaining habitat in Kenya for the roan antelope.

The Lambwe Valley Game Reserve was created in 1966 to protect the last remaining habitat of Kenya's roan antelope. It was elevated to national park status in 1983. The name Ruma comes from Gor Mahia, a feared wizard who lived near the valley.

The name Ruma honours Gor Mahia, a feared wizard said to have lived around the Lambwe Valley; the name was adopted after the reserve was renamed. Gor Mahia also gives his name to the football club affiliated with the park's nickname. Visitors pass the Kamato and Nyatoto gates, where payment is cashless.

A four-wheel-drive vehicle is needed to navigate the roads, and visitors should bring supplies since facilities in the park are limited. Planning ahead makes the visit more comfortable.

The park is named after Gor Mahia, a feared wizard said to have lived around the Lambwe Valley; the name was adopted when the reserve became Ruma. The rare blue swallow, an intra-African migrant, is among the birds recorded here.
