Nyerere National Park, formerly known as Selous Game Reserve, is one of the largest and most pristine wildlife reserves in Tanzania, offering a true wilderness experience. The park’s vast landscapes, encompassing rivers, lakes, savannahs, and woodlands, provide ideal habitats for elephants, lions, hippos, crocodiles, and a wide variety of bird species. Visitors can enjoy unique river safaris along the Rufiji River, observing wildlife from the water and capturing stunning photography opportunities. Due to its remote and expansive nature, the park remains less crowded than northern safari destinations, offering travelers solitude and an authentic encounter with Africa’s natural beauty. The combination of wildlife, scenic views, and tranquility makes Nyerere National Park a must-visit destination in the Southern Circuit.
