Nyerere Game Reserve Safari

4 Days / 3 Nights·Exclusive Africa SafarisVerified Operator

Overview

Explore Tanzania's largest game reserve — boat safaris on the Rufiji River, walking safaris through pristine wilderness, and incredible predator sightings.

Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve) is Africa's largest protected area and one of its least visited. This 4-day safari takes you deep into the reserve for boat safaris on the Rufiji River, walking safaris through wild bushland, and game drives across open plains teeming with lions, wild dogs, elephants, and hippo pods. With just a fraction of the Serengeti's visitor numbers, this is raw, uncrowded Africa.
