On safari in Nyerere National Park

Nyerere National Park is a true haven for safari-goers of an adventurous persuasion. Three times the size of South Africa’s iconic Kruger National Park and teeming with Africa’s largest and most undisturbed wildlife populations, it makes for an unrivalled safari experience. On safari in Nyerere, you are unlikely to encounter other tourists, making for a peaceful and authentic experience.

Children will enjoy the varied game activities and wildlife they will see as a result of its remarkable topography, from boat rides on the river to game drives in open-sided vehicles. Visiting in the dry season (July-October) is ideal, as a remarkable density of game congregates around the water sources, making for captivating and frequent game spotting that keeps children engaged.
