Located in southern Tanzania and far from the madding crowds, the Nyerere National Park (northeastern part of the huge Selous Game Reserve set aside for photographic safaris) is Africa's largest national park, covering a staggering 30,000 square kilometers. It is the size of Switzerland and twice as large as Serengeti National Park.
Due to its dramatic landscapes and great diversity of wildlife, the Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve) was declared a UNESCO world heritage site in 1982. It is a key landscape for endangered wild dog, which share the reserve with plenty of crocodile, lion, leopard, hippo, elephant, black rhino, buffalo and more than 400 bird species. With such a rich array of wildlife, it’s the perfect addition to any Tanzania Safari Holiday.
The rivers and lakes of Nyerere National Park are the lifeblood of the park. Located at the heart of Nyerere National Park , the Rufiji, Tanzania’s largest river, creates a complex network of channels, lakes and swamps that result in one of the most compelling ecological systems in East Africa.
More than just a great place for a seasoned safari enthusiast, Nyerere National Park also offers an amazing introduction to unspoiled Africa. Nyerere National Park is one of the few big game reserves to offer some of Africa's best walking and boat safaris as well as fly camping trips. In particular, the boating safaris set this reserve apart from other Tanzanian parks. The fact that Nyerere National Park is so much quieter (in visitor terms) than most of the rest of the country just adds to its attraction. And if quiet lands, devoid of human presence interest you, you should also read more about Ruaha National Park.
