Nyerere National Park ('The Selous') Safari Trips & Tours
Nyerere National Park ('The Selous')
The largest reserve in Africa, the Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve) is a tangled wilderness of volcanic springs and vast gorges; of open savannah and wooded escarpments; of bleached-sand riverbeds and the mighty Rufiji River. With such diversity, the landscape is home to an extraordinary number of mammals, including buffalo, zebra, elephant and an impressive giraffe population. And with lots of food around, predators are also well represented, including the infamous Selous lion with their unique pattern of day-time hunting. With boat trips, walking safaris and night drives all on offer, this is a hidden gem that is well worth discovering.

‘The Selous’ or as it’s now known, Nyerere National Park, is the largest reserve in Africa, encompassing terrain that varies from volcanic springs and gaping gorges to open savannah and woodlands. Winding like a shimmering snake through this wild scene is the Rufiji River, making Nyerere Tanzania’s stellar boating safari destination. Look out for boulder-like hippos and lurking crocodiles as you idle by, while the banks attract hordes of elephant, giraffe, buffalo and zebra, followed keenly by Selous lions who are famous for their day-time hunts. You’ll also have the chance to see the park’s impressive cast of animals on game drives (including night excursions) and walking safaris. The most coveted experience is seeing a pack of African painted dogs scampering across the landscape and, if you plan a visit between May and June, watch pups playing just outside their den.
