Explore Nyerere National Park, Tanzania’s largest and wildest safari park. Enjoy boat safaris, game drives, walking tours & remote wildlife adventures.If you’re looking for a safari that goes beyond the typical, Nyerere delivers pure, wild Africa. It’s remote, intimate, and rich with experiences you won’t find anywhere else—from cruising rivers at sunset to walking through elephant trails. For those who want to feel the wild heartbeat of Africa, this is it.
Welcome to Nyerere National Park, East Africa’s largest national park and one of Tanzania’s best-kept safari secrets. Covering over 30,000 square kilometers, Nyerere (formerly part of the vast Selous Game Reserve) offers wild, untouched beauty that feels like stepping into another time. This is Southern Tanzania’s safari crown jewel—remote, peaceful, and full of adventure.
Named after Tanzania’s founding father, Julius Nyerere, the park offers a rich blend of riverine forests, grassy plains, lakes, and the mighty Rufiji River, which weaves through the landscape like a lifeline. Nyerere is a paradise for those who want raw wilderness without the crowds of the north.
Nyerere is home to a stunning variety of wildlife. You’ll find lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, zebras, crocodiles, hippos, and African wild dogs—this park is one of the last strongholds for these rare predators. You can also spot antelopes like kudu, eland, and sable, plus more than 440 bird species.
What makes Nyerere different? The diverse activities. It’s one of the few parks in Tanzania where you can enjoy:
🛶 Boat safaris on the Rufiji River (spotting hippos and crocs up close)
🚶♂️ Walking safaris with experienced guides
🚙 Game drives in open 4x4s
🌅 Bush picnics and sundowners in the wild
🐘 Photographic safaris in remote areas with zero crowds
It’s a more relaxed, flexible, and immersive safari experience compared to the northern parks.
Nyerere’s biggest draw is its wild and uncrowded feel. You can go hours on a game drive without seeing another vehicle. The Rufiji River system is the heart of the park, offering boat safaris you won’t find in most of East Africa—picture floating past hippos, elephants bathing, and fish eagles overhead.
This is also the ideal destination for slow travel and true connection with nature. Many lodges are small, eco-conscious, and beautifully remote, making Nyerere perfect for honeymooners, photographers, and seasoned safari-goers looking for something special.
You can visit Nyerere year-round, but timing can shape your experience:
June to October (Dry Season): Best wildlife viewing as animals gather around water sources. Cooler, drier weather and excellent river safari conditions.
November to March (Green Season): Lush scenery, great for birdwatching and fewer crowds. Calving season makes for dramatic predator-prey interactions.
April to May (Long rains): Some lodges close and access can be tricky. However, the park is at its most green and peaceful for adventurous travelers.
For a perfect experience, plan your visit between June and early November.
