Nyerere National Park
– The Heart of Wild, Untamed Africa
Vast Landscapes, River Safaris & Remarkable Wildlife Encounters
Nyerere National Park (formerly part of the Selous Game Reserve) is one of Africa’s largest protected wilderness areas, offering a truly raw and authentic safari experience. Spanning forests, savannahs, lakes, and the winding Rufiji River, this park is home to abundant wildlife including elephants, lions, hippos, crocodiles, painted wolves (African wild dogs), giraffes, and countless bird species. Unlike busier safari circuits, Nyerere offers quiet, intimate game viewing and unique activities such as boat safaris, making it an ideal destination for travelers seeking peace, wilderness, and adventure.
