Southern Wilderness
A closer look
Get to know Nyerere.
Rufiji waterways, lakes and wide southern wilderness with a different safari rhythm.
Nyerere National Park protects a vast part of the former Selous landscape. The Rufiji River, lakes and surrounding woodland create a varied setting for wildlife. The national park is distinct from the remaining Selous Game Reserve. Combine game drives with river-based exploration where licensed operators and conditions allow. The balance of water and land makes Nyerere a rewarding contrast to northern Tanzania, or a natural partner to a coast or island stay.
