Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve) is the largest park in Africa, covering 54,600 square kilometers. The reserve gets its name from the hunter and explorer Frederick Courtney Selous. He was killed here during World War 1. Nyerere is famous for its elephants. Other species commonly seen are lion, wild dog, buffalo, bushbuck, impala, eland, baboon, zebra, and greater kudu. It was originally set aside as a hunting area where animals are abundant but more elusive than in the Northern Parks.

Excursions by 4×4 vehicles will permit you to have good photographic opportunities and the chance to explore different sections of the vast park.
