You love exploring fantastic destinations, off the beaten path – that’s how you discovered the balmy shores of Zanzibar. Well here’s another destination most don’t yet know that offers incredible wildlife rewards for those who safari to its vast forests and grasslands – Nyerere National Park.
This is a new park, created from the immense Selous Game Reserve. Here you’ll find the largest home in Africa for a wonderful variety of big and small games… but in numbers that are simply astonishing.
The vast park supports 4,000 lions, 3,500 hyenas, 1,000 leopards, and hundreds of cheetahs. Plus hundreds of thousands of buffalos, wildebeests, and the largest population of hippos in the world, over 40,000!
And yet, because Nyerere remains fairly undiscovered, the wildlife here is not as exposed to humans as they are elsewhere. This is one park where the animals vastly outnumber the safari-goers.
You Will Spot Lots of Wildlife
Not just because of their great numbers but the park’s geography plays a significant role in the wildlife’s survival and your access to them. The beating heart of Nyerere is also the largest river in Tanzania, the great Rufiji, which is the primary source of water.
It’s here during the dry season from June through October that so many of the animals gather to slake their thirst. On these riverbanks, we’ll be looking for rhino, giraffe, eland, zebra, impala, monkeys, waterbuck, and so many more.
The river is also home to huge numbers of crocodiles and hippos, as well as one of the largest mangrove forests in the world.
A Dramatic Park To Witness
With its vast system of lakes and waterways, its acacia-adorned hills, riverine forests, and green rolling grasslands, Nyerere is a stunning and bountiful park to behold.
The final colorful flourish – the reserve’s hundreds of bird species dressing up the lakes, trees, and sometimes the wildlife – it is not uncommon to see a bright songbird resting upon the back of a rhino or antelope. Look for the purple-crested turaco, trumpeter hornbill, and fish eagle amongst others.
Ready to Fly to Paradise?
You’ll be flying from one paradise to another on your quick one-hour flight to the park. We’ll pick you up from your hotel or resort in Zanzibar and bring you to an airstrip bordering the park.
There your Natural World Kenya Safaris driver/guide will greet you with your own 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep. What an effortless and fun way to safari! Contact us to get your Nyerere adventure started.

Your Natural World Kenya Safaris driver/guide will be at the airstrip to greet you and take your bags to the private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep. It’s a quick drive to the park and if you wish you can freshen up at your accommodation.
Now it’s time to venture out over the fields and through the forests of this vast untouristed park.
Of course, we’ll be looking for the big game – lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos.
We’re certain to spot giraffes in the fields and by the waterways, plus monkeys, impalas, and antelopes.
We can enjoy lunch in the field or back at your accommodation. Just talk with your driver/guide as to your wishes.
We’ll continue our game drives looking for large and small game and hopefully spot some of the reserve’s 4,000 lions, plus leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas.
Toward late afternoon, we’ll return to our accommodation after a very busy day soaking up this magnificent park.
We will spend the evening at our Nyerere lodge or tented camp.
Meal Plan: Breakfast and Lunch
The park is especially peaceful early in the morning so let’s take a moment to enjoy the soft light and birdsong as the day begins.
We’ll partake of breakfast and jump back into our safari Jeep for more wildlife adventures.
Besides all the animals mentioned, Nyerere Park offers unusual surprises for adventuresome safari-goers that won’t easily be found elsewhere such as the sable antelope and African wild dogs.
The rare and endangered wild dog population here is one of the largest in Africa, about one-third of all that exist in the world.
We’ll enjoy lunch and perhaps go for one more game drive before wrapping up our safari and heading back to the airstrip.
Lift-off for our flight back to Zanzibar will be at 16:15 hrs. (4:15 pm) and we’ll have you back at the beach at 17:05 hrs. (5:05 pm).
