Tanzania Safari Tours & Africa Adventures
Tanzania's largest park (the former Selous) — boat safaris on the Rufiji, walking among big game, and wild dogs, a short flight from Dar or Zanzibar.
Carved from the legendary Selous Game Reserve in 2019, Nyerere is the largest national park in Tanzania — roughly 30,000 km² of wilderness centred on the mighty Rufiji River, yet visited by a fraction of the Serengeti’s crowds. It’s the heart of the southern circuit and a completely different safari.
The Rufiji enables what the northern parks can’t: boat safaris drifting past hippo, crocodiles, and elephants at the waterline. Add genuine walking safaris and one of Africa’s most important wild-dog populations, and you have a wild, exclusive park reached by a 45-minute flight from Dar or Zanzibar.

Big game across miombo woodland and along the lakes.
Drift past hippo, crocs, and drinking elephants.
Track big game with an armed ranger.
Our top southern-circuit pick for variety — boating, walking, and driving in one stay, with far fewer vehicles than the north. The trade-off is no migration mega-herds and a rainy-season closure (many camps shut March–May). For a wilder, more exclusive Tanzania, it's superb, especially paired with Zanzibar.
