Africa's largest game reserve, offering boat safaris, walking safaris, and a true off-the-beaten-path wilderness experience in southern Tanzania.
Nyerere National Park (formerly the Selous Game Reserve) is one of Africa's largest protected areas — and one of its most unspoiled. Covering over 30,000 square kilometres, it offers a raw, untouched wilderness experience that few other parks can match.
What sets Nyerere apart is the variety of safari activities available. In addition to traditional game drives, you can explore the Rufiji River by boat, go on guided walking safaris through the bush, or even try fly camping under the stars. It's a truly immersive way to experience the African wild.
The park is home to large populations of elephants, hippos, crocodiles, wild dogs, and lions. The southern Tanzania location means far fewer tourists, giving you the feeling of having the bush all to yourself.
