Nyerere National Park

Now the Largest National Park in Africa, Nyerere National Park is a newly established Park that is part of what is known as Selous Game Reserve. The name of the Park is given in honor of the founder of the Nation, the Late Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere. The Park was established in 2019 and covers an area of over 30,000 square kilometers.

With its largest wilderness area in Africa, Nyerere National Park has relatively undisturbed ecological and biological processes, including a diverse range of wildlife with significant predator-prey relationships. The mighty Rufiji, with its renowned population of hippos and rhinos, flows into the Indian Ocean. The river has been designated a photographic zone and is a popular tourist destination.

The sheer volume of games in Nyerere is just outstanding! Elephants, buffalo, and lions are found in greater numbers, and the park, together with the remaining part of Selous, has the last true stronghold for African wild dogs. Visitors to this vast park will be able to enjoy the widest diversity of safari activities in the country, like boating safaris as well as standard game drives, walking safaris, and legendary fly camping trips.
