About Nyerere National Park

Explore the Untamed Beauty of Nyerere National Park with Tanzania Authentic

Nestled in the heart of Tanzania, Nyerere National Park stands as a beacon of wild and pristine nature, inviting adventurers and nature lovers to explore its vast landscapes and rich biodiversity. Formerly known as Selous Game Reserve, this majestic park was renamed in honor of Julius Nyerere, the first President of Tanzania, a fitting tribute to a man who was an ardent supporter of conservation. Spanning an impressive 30,893 square kilometers, Nyerere National Park is one of the largest protected areas in Africa, making it a pivotal piece of Tanzania’s ecological and cultural heritage.

Discover the Wild Heart of Tanzania

Nyerere National Park is a marvel of ecological diversity, comprising miombo woodlands, open grasslands, riverine forests, and swamps, each supporting a complex web of life. The park is bisected by the life-giving Rufiji River, which swells with the seasonal rains, creating a dynamic landscape that supports an array of wildlife. This river is not only the largest in Tanzania but also a dramatic backdrop for game viewing and boating safaris.

As you traverse the park, you’ll encounter large herds of elephants, the graceful giraffes, and the elusive leopards. The park is also home to one of the largest populations of wild dogs, an endangered species that roams the African wilds in vibrant, dynamic packs. Additionally, the rivers and lakes teem with crocodiles and hippos, while over 440 species of birds paint the sky with their vibrant hues and songs, making Nyerere a bird-watcher’s paradise.
