4-day safari extension in southern Tanzania: Nyerere National Park

Are you planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, visit the northern national parks or enjoy yourself on Zanzibar? Whichever it is, this safari extension rounds off your Tanzania trip perfectly.

Nyerere National Park, formerly known as Selous Game Reserve, is without doubt one of the highlights of Tanzania’s southern national parks. One activity we highly recommend on your trip is a boat safari on the Rufiji River. The river flows through the whole park, so it is easy to see thirsty wildlife gathering on its banks.

On this private safari you are free to travel at your own pace, just the way you like. You get your own safari vehicle and guide.

Fewer people visit this southern Tanzanian park than the parks in the north, yet it is home to elephants, hippos, crocodiles, lions, leopards, giraffes, the endangered rhino, the rare African wild dog and more.
