Nyerere National Park

Welcome to Nyerere National Park

Tanzania's Untamed Wilderness!

Venture into the wild heart of southern Tanzania and explore one of Africa's most iconic safari destinations. Covering over 30,000 square kilometers, Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve) is the largest national park in Tanzania and one of the biggest protected areas in Africa — a true paradise for nature lovers and adventurers.

A Wildlife Wonderland:
Nyerere is home to an astonishing variety of wildlife, including large herds of elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and wildebeests. It is also a stronghold for predators — lions, leopards, cheetahs, and wild dogs roam its vast plains, offering thrilling opportunities to witness the circle of life in action.

Birdwatcher's Paradise:
With more than 440 bird species, Nyerere is a dream come true for bird enthusiasts. From the elegant fish eagle to colorful bee-eaters and kingfishers, the park's diverse habitats create endless birdwatching possibilities.

Accessible Yet Wild:
Located just a few hours' drive or a short flight from Dar es Salaam, Nyerere offers the perfect balance between accessibility and a true wilderness experience. Its sheer size and diversity guarantee fewer crowds and an intimate safari adventure.

Unforgettable Experiences:
Enjoy game drives, walking safaris guided by experts, and boat safaris along the scenic Rufiji River — where you can spot hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of waterbirds up close. Few parks in Africa offer such a unique combination of land and river safaris.

Dedicated to Conservation:
As part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Nyerere plays a crucial role in protecting endangered species and preserving Africa's largest remaining elephant population. Your visit directly supports conservation efforts and local communities.
