Explore Our 3-Day Nyerere National Park Safari from Zanzibar
OVERVIEW

Nyerere National Park (formerly the Selous Game Reserve) is Africa's largest protected wilderness and a UNESCO World Heritage site, offering a raw and intimate safari experience that is hard to find elsewhere.
This 3-Day Nyerere Safari from Zanzibar is unique because it goes beyond the standard 4x4 game drive. You will navigate the mighty Rufiji River by boat to see hippos and crocodiles and walk the African bush on foot with an armed ranger to learn the secrets of the wilderness.
