I was able to see 3 of the Big 5. Elephant, Buffalo and Leopard. Didn't see any lions on the day but they are around sometimes. No rhinos on this park. It was a magnificent 3 day experience with a lot of wildlife. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure we saw the most. The 4hr drive to the park from Dar es Salaam was very scenic also. Never a dull moment.

Just as good as Serengeti, just cheaper. Great guide, great walking safari and boat safari. Just perfect!

So large and at times we felt like we were the only people in the world (along with all the animals)

Not every animal chose to appear for us, but we were able to get close to an incredibly diverse range of animals and birds. Our guide was highly professional and knowledgeable and really enhanced our understanding of what we were seeing.

Nyerere National Park is very large. Wildlife is very present there. You can see many animals (elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, etc.).
However, the BIG 5 will be more difficult to see. Already because of the size of the park, so you sometimes have to travel long distances. Also because the rhino is endangered and is therefore much rarer on the continent in general. Otherwise, the landscapes are truly magnificent, the calm and the sounds of wildlife are exactly like those you could see/hear in a TV report.
Talking to other tourists who have visited the Serengeti or Ngorongoro national parks in northern Tanzania, we understand that the experience is different (the number of animals in the north is greater than in Nyerere). However, the wonder is identical :)
A small positive point during the visit to Nyerere Park, I had the chance to bathe in hot springs. A little scary but also super relaxing. I absolutely recommend visiting this park!
