Nyerere National Park—formerly part of the legendary Selous Game Reserve—is one of Africa’s largest and most pristine wilderness areas. Stretching across endless forests, open savannahs, lakes, and the powerful Rufiji River, the park offers a safari experience that feels raw, untouched, and deeply authentic. Wildlife thrives here in abundance: elephants, lions, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, painted wolves (African wild dogs), and countless bird species roam freely. With far fewer visitors than northern parks, Nyerere provides serene, intimate game viewing and unique activities like boat safaris that set it apart as a true wilderness sanctuary.
