Nyerere National Park, formerly known as Selous Game Reserve, is Tanzania’s largest protected area and one of the world’s biggest wildlife sanctuaries, covering 54,600 square kilometers. Its diverse landscape includes dense forests, open plains, mountains, and woodlands, offering a pristine and remote safari experience.

Located in southern Tanzania, far from the busier northern parks, Nyerere provides a true wilderness experience. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982 due to its rich biodiversity and untouched ecosystems. The park is home to numerous lakes, rivers, birds, and diverse wildlife.

Nyerere offers unique safari experiences, including walking safaris, boat safaris, birdwatching, camping, and hot-air balloon rides. With over 400 bird species, it is a paradise for bird lovers, where spotting 100 species in a day is possible.

For travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path safari, Nyerere National Park is an exceptional destination to immerse in Tanzania’s raw and untouched nature.
