Safari 4 Days – Nyerere National Park

4 Days

Nyerere National Park, part of the vast Selous Game Reserve, is one of Tanzania’s largest and most remote wilderness areas, spanning over 30,000 square kilometers.

Nyerere is particularly famous for its high concentrations of elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and wild dog populations, as well as iconic African species like lions, leopards, and buffalo. The Rufiji River flows through the park, providing unique boat safari opportunities that allow visitors to view animals up close along the riverbanks. With options for both game drives and walking safaris, Nyerere National Park provides a dynamic, immersive adventure, combining classic wildlife viewing with the tranquil, pristine beauty of one of Tanzania’s most significant protected areas.
