The story of this place
Nyerere National Park lies in southern Tanzania and forms part of the wider Selous ecosystem, one of Africa’s largest protected wilderness landscapes. The Rufiji River and its network of lakes, channels and seasonal floodplains are central to the park’s character. Wildlife includes elephants, lions, leopards, wild dogs, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos and crocodiles, alongside rich birdlife. In addition to traditional game drives, the river environment makes boat safaris a distinctive way to observe wildlife and scenery. Nyerere is well suited to travellers seeking a spacious, less crowded safari experience and a different perspective from the northern circuit.
