Nyerere National Park

Why is Nyerere National Park famous?
Nyerere National Park is famous for its vast untouched wilderness, boat safaris on the Rufiji River, strong wild dog populations, huge elephant herds, and exclusive crowd-free safari experiences.

Nyerere National Park, formerly the Selous Game Reserve, is Africa’s largest protected wildlife area and one of Tanzania’s most exclusive safari destinations. At In Africa Tour, we design immersive Nyerere safari tours 2026/2027/2028 for travelers seeking remote landscapes, diverse safari activities, and authentic wilderness encounters.

A Nyerere safari offers experiences unavailable in most African parks. Along the Rufiji River system, guests enjoy unforgettable Nyerere boat safaris, drifting past hippos, crocodiles, elephants, and rich birdlife. On land, a Nyerere wildlife safari delivers excellent sightings of lions, leopards, buffalo, giraffes, huge elephant populations, and one of East Africa’s most important African wild dog strongholds.

Our Nyerere safari holidays include luxury Nyerere safaris in secluded riverfront camps, private Nyerere safaris for couples and photographers, and exclusive Nyerere fly-in safaris maximizing time in the park. Many Nyerere tour packages also feature guided Nyerere walking safaris, creating a deeper, more immersive safari experience rarely possible in northern Tanzania.
