3-Day Nyerere National Park

Nyerere National Park, formerly known as Selous Game Reserve, is a vast wilderness area in southern Tanzania. Covering an area larger than Switzerland, it is one of the largest protected reserves in Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Your 3-day, 2-night journey begins with a scenic transfer to the park's entrance. As you enter, the sprawling savanna landscapes stretch out before you, dotted with acacia trees and winding rivers. This is prime habitat for the iconic African wildlife, and you'll keep your eyes peeled for sightings of the Big Five - lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo.
Each morning, you'll embark on a game drive, slowly traversing the diverse terrain in search of these majestic animals. The park is renowned for its large elephant population, with over 70,000 individuals roaming the protected lands. You may also spot giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and a variety of antelope species. Between game drives, you'll have time to relax at your comfortable safari camp, enjoying delicious meals and learning about the local ecosystem from your expert guide.
On one day, you'll take a boat safari along the Rufiji River, navigating through the lush riparian forests and keeping an eye out for hippos, crocodiles, and an abundance of birdlife. As the sun sets, you'll have the opportunity to spot nocturnal creatures on an evening game drive before returning to camp for a starlit dinner under the Milky Way.
This short but immersive safari offers a glimpse into the untamed wilderness of Nyerere National Park, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Africa's natural wonders.
