Just avoid this park (at least in rainy season). I don't know how it is in dry season. No animals, terrible roads , and 7 hours drive from Dar Es Salaam. A proper nightmare.

All tour operators harassing the wildlife, likely because we saw very few animals and they wanted to make tourists happy but it was wrong.

Missed Lions & Hyenas
Was so excited to visit Nyerere NP Tanzania, but was a bit disappointed as we could not spot even a single Lion, Leopard or Hyena in 3 day safari. I was surprised to find a fresh dead deer, with no vultures in sight. Although, there were a lot of Hippos & elephants, but even Zebras & wild beast were not easily spotted, adding further to disappointment. Yes we saw a lot of Giraffe, baboons & impala. Keeping in view the history, reports & size of Nyerere NP, it was just an average visit. No lions, no tourists attraction.

Selous had more animals than Mikumi National Park , and we saw the African wild dogs there.

Larger than anything. Wildlife is usually har to find and weather can be tricky, really hot and humid. But this place is for the turists who want to meet the real wild Africa. I´m really glad to have been there before it gets too crowded like the other parks.

Because we were before in Serengenti, we had seen there everything, so Selous was for us rather poor

It were not the big five but maybe in the other national parks. We were in the wrong national park to see them.
This were the first safari and visit in Tansania .It was a great visit in this national park and we saw many another animals.
Our expectations were perhaps too high because we didn't get proper information before the tour.
The animals do what they want and not what we want.

Great place. Harder to spot some animals because of the jungle and bushes in the area but such a cool place to have visited.
