Nyerere National Park (Selous)
Formerly the northern part of Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania’s Nyerere National Park is Africa’s largest National Park. Stretching over an impressive 30,893 square kilometres, the park is home to some of the world’s largest concentrations of wildlife, and the incredible diversity and sheer volume of animals draw visitors from around the globe. Travellers can look forward to spotting a wide collection of common and rare species including the famous Big Five, some rare species of antelopes like Roan Antelope, and large concentrations of elephant and hippos. Do not miss the opportunity to take a boating safari on the exquisite Rufiji River, spot the endangered African wild dog, and enjoy a guided walking safari with a highly knowledgeable guide.

Day 02: Nyerere National Park (Selous)

Day Itinerary
You will have a full day in the Selous Game Reserve, staying at the Tented Lodge overlooking the gorge of Rufiji River Camp. Exploration of the Reserve by 4-wheel drive vehicle, boat and on foot. The Selous, famous for its elephants, was originally set aside as a hunting area where animals are abundant but shyer than the Northern Parks. Our foot safari will give us a particularly intimate feel for the African wilds, while other excursions by 4×4 vehicles will allow us to have good photographic opportunities and the chance to explore different sections of the vast park. We will discover the Rufiji River by boat, encounter hippos and crocodiles in good numbers. Some 350 bird species have been recorded in the Selous Game Reserve. These are typical of miombo woodland, and the bird life supported by Rufiji swamplands is of particular interest.
