About Nyerere National Park

Formerly known as Selous Game Reserve, Nyerere National Park is Africa's largest national park and one of the largest protected areas on earth at over 30,000 km². The park is bisected by the Rufiji River — East Africa's largest river system — and is famous for its boat safaris, which offer intimate wildlife viewing from the water. Wild dog, elephant, lion, hippo, crocodile and buffalo thrive here in almost total solitude; visitor numbers are far lower than the northern circuit parks.
