A Nyerere National Park safari is one of the best choices for travelers who want a vast, wild, and water-rich safari experience in southern Tanzania. Formerly part of the legendary Selous Game Reserve ecosystem, Nyerere National Park is known for its broad wilderness, Rufiji River channels, lakes, floodplains, miombo woodlands, riverine forests, and remote safari atmosphere.
The Rufiji River is the heart of many Nyerere safari experiences. Travelers can enjoy boat safaris with possible sightings of hippos, crocodiles, elephants, buffaloes, waterbirds, and wildlife along the riverbanks. Nyerere is also rewarding for classic game drives, guided walking safaris, birdwatching, predator sightings, and travelers interested in African wild dogs.
