Nyerere National Park Holidays

Vast, remote and wild, Nyerere National Park (formerly known as Selous Game Reserve) covers an area almost four times the size of the Serengeti and offers a slice of Africa that is off the radar of most travellers. Spot hippos and crocodiles as you cruise along the Rufiji River, enjoy a walking safari through the extensive grasslands or look out for endangered wild dogs, buffalos and lions on exciting game drives. Boasting an amazing diversity of landscapes and experiences, a Nyerere safari holiday offers pristine wilderness and a rich variety of wildlife.

As part of Tanzania's 'southern circuit', a Nyerere safari combines well with Ruaha National Park, which offers a contrasting environment. Nyerere is also ideal to pair with Zanzibar holiday for a relaxing beach break, as there are flights routing from the camps via Dar es Salaam directly to Zanzibar.

Trailfinders offers a range of Nyerere safaris and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to visit Nyerere National Park on a private safari, to create an exciting multi centre holiday or are simply looking for advice on the best lodge to stay in – they are the perfect people to ask.
