Safari Overview

3-Day Nyerere National Park Safari from Dar es Salaam (Game Drive & Boat Safari)

This 3-day Nyerere National Park safari from Dar es Salaam takes you deep into one of Tanzania's most spectacular and least-crowded wildlife destinations. Formerly known as Selous Game Reserve, Nyerere National Park is Africa's largest protected wildlife area — a UNESCO World Heritage Site covering over 30,000 km² of pristine savannah, riverine forest, wetlands, and floodplains. Just 4–5 hours from Dar es Salaam, it's the ideal compact safari for couples, families, groups, and solo travelers who want extraordinary wildlife without the long journey north. The iconic Rufiji River runs through the park's heart, drawing elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and over 440 bird species to its banks — and your morning boat safari puts you right in the middle of it all.

  • Africa's largest game reserve — vast wilderness with minimal crowds

  • Unique Rufiji River boat safari — a perspective no land vehicle can offer

  • Expert English-speaking guide with deep Nyerere park knowledge

  • All park fees, meals, game drives, boat safari, and transfers included
