Today, you’ll journey through the jungle, savannah, and riversides of the vast and wild Nyerere National Park formerly known as the Selous Game Reserve. Located in southern Tanzania, this expansive park offers an authentic, off-the-beaten-path safari experience far from the crowds of the northern circuit.
As Tanzania’s second-largest national park after the Serengeti, Nyerere covers a vast area of untamed wilderness, so get ready to cover some ground during your game drives. But the rewards are exceptional: the park is home to an incredible variety of wildlife, including elephants, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, lions, leopards, and even the critically endangered black rhino and the rare African wild dog.
With its rich biodiversity, varied terrain, and lower visitor numbers, Nyerere offers a truly wild and intimate safari experience ideal for those seeking both adventure and serenity in nature’s purest form.
