Discovering Nyerere National Park
A Land of Superlatives
Covering an astounding 30,893 square kilometers, Nyerere National Park is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Formerly known as Selous Game Reserve, this park was renamed in honor of Julius Nyerere, Tanzania’s founding father. It boasts a diverse range of ecosystems, including savannahs, wetlands, and dense forests, making it a paradise for an astonishing variety of flora and fauna.
The Wildlife Spectacle
A Safari Like No Other
Nyerere National Park is home to an incredible array of wildlife. Imagine watching herds of elephants meandering through the bush, majestic lions basking in the golden sun, and graceful giraffes silhouetted against the horizon. The park’s sheer size and diversity mean that every safari is a unique and thrilling experience.
The Big Five and Beyond
While the Big Five – lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinoceros – are the stars of the show, Nyerere National Park offers much more. Look out for packs of wild dogs, rare sightings of black rhinos, and over 400 species of birds that call this park home. Whether you’re an avid birder or a big cat enthusiast, Nyerere has something to excite every traveler.
The Mighty Rufiji River
A Lifeline of the Park
One of the highlights of Nyerere National Park is the Rufiji River, Tanzania’s largest river. It meanders through the park, creating a lush and vibrant ecosystem that supports an abundance of wildlife. The river is a hub of activity, where you can spot hippos wallowing in the shallows, crocodiles basking on the banks, and a myriad of bird species flitting about the trees.
Boat Safaris and Fishing Adventures
At Lyimo Expeditions, we offer exclusive boat safaris along the Rufiji River. Glide silently through the waters, getting up close and personal with the wildlife that congregates around the riverbanks. If you’re an angling enthusiast, we also offer fishing safaris where you can try your hand at catching the prized tiger fish or catfish.
Exploring by Foot and Air
Walking Safaris
For those who seek a more intimate experience with nature, our walking safaris are a must. Accompanied by our experienced guides, you’ll trek through the bush, learning about the smaller, often overlooked aspects of the ecosystem. Discover animal tracks, medicinal plants, and the intricate web of life that sustains the park.
