Nyerere National Park, previously part of the vast Selous Game Reserve, is one of Africa’s largest protected wilderness areas — larger than Switzerland! Located in southern Tanzania, this park is known for its unspoiled beauty, diverse landscapes, and low tourist traffic, offering a true off-the-beaten-path safari. It features rivers, lakes, wetlands, miombo woodlands, and open plains teeming with wildlife. The mighty Rufiji River flows through the heart of the park, creating excellent opportunities for boat safaris. Nyerere is famous for its large populations of elephants, lions, wild dogs, hippos, and crocodiles — all thriving in a setting far more wild and remote than the northern safari circuit.
