Nyerere National Park, located in southern Tanzania, is one of Africa’s largest and most pristine wildlife sanctuaries. Formerly part of the famous Selous Game Reserve, the park spans vast landscapes of open savannah, dense woodlands, rolling hills, and the winding Rufiji River, which serves as its lifeblood.
The park is renowned for its rich biodiversity and relatively low visitor numbers, offering an unspoiled and exclusive safari experience. It is home to large populations of elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, giraffes, and hippos, as well as the endangered African wild dog. More than 400 bird species thrive here, making it a paradise for birdwatchers.
What sets Nyerere National Park apart is the variety of safari activities available. In addition to classic game drives, visitors can enjoy boat safaris along the Rufiji River and guided walking safaris, providing unique perspectives on wildlife and landscapes. With its dramatic scenery, abundant wildlife, and sense of true wilderness, Nyerere National Park offers an authentic and unforgettable African safari experience.
