Nyerere National Park - Southern Tanzania

Recommended number of days for this destination: 2 - 7 days.

Nyerere National Park was created in 2019 and is part of what is considered the Southern Safari Circuit. The other destinations listed above on this website are part of the Northern Safari Circuit. This park was created out of a large portion of the Selous Game Reserve. By giving it national park status, it now enjoys more protection than as a game preserve. This is a huge park, more than twice the size of Serengeti National Park! It is not heavily frequented and with such a large area, the animals here are not used to human presence. The wildlife is abundant and diverse. Having only recently become a national park, the infrastructure is not as developed as the older parks and the accommodations are not as numerous but this is changing. An itinerary here can originate from Kilimanjaro, Arusha, or Dar es Salaam Airports via flight into the park, or overland from Dar es Salaam (230km by road). Because of its large size, Nyerere National Park has seven different airstrips so we can book a flight to the one closest to your accommodations inside the park.
