Nyerere National Park

Named after Tanzania's founding president and carved from the former Selous Game Reserve, Nyerere is one of the largest protected wildlife areas in Africa. The Rufiji River winds through it, opening up boat safaris alongside the more familiar game drive and walking safari.

Wild dog, hippo, crocodile, and healthy predator populations thrive here in a landscape that sees a fraction of the visitors of the northern parks, making it a natural fit for travellers seeking a remote, unhurried safari.
