On Safari in Nyerere National Park
On Safari in Nyerere National Park
Nyerere National Park (formally known as the Selous National Park) is Africa's largest game reserve covering over 50,000 square km, yet it remains one of Tanzania’s least-known reserves and the numbers of visitors to Nyerere are much lower than the northern parks.
The rivers and lakes of Nyerere host some phenomenal game, including the largest hippos, crocodiles, and hippo populations in Africa. Along the banks of the Rufiji River, you’ll find large herds of elephants, especially in the dry season (June to November) and you can also expect to see good numbers of buffalos, giraffes, zebras, impalas, elands, wildebeest, baboons, hyenas, lions and leopards, and endangered African wild dogs.
As the Nyerere National Park was formerly a game reserve your guide can go off-road in your safari vehicle and you can get much closer to wildlife encounters than where you are restricted to the roads. As well as morning and afternoon game drives, you can also enjoy bush walks and boat safaris.
