Nyerere National Park, formerly part of the vast Selous Game Reserve, is Tanzania’s largest national park, spanning over 30,000 square kilometers. Established in 2019 and named after Tanzania’s first president, Julius Nyerere, it’s a pristine wilderness with diverse habitats, from open grasslands to riverine forests. The park boasts abundant wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and a significant population of endangered African wild dogs. The Rufiji River, Tanzania’s largest, flows through the park, offering boat safaris for unique game viewing and birdwatching. Nyerere provides a variety of safari experiences, including game drives, walking safaris, and boat safaris, offering visitors a chance to explore this remarkable and relatively untouched wilderness.
