Overview

Having 2 days to spend in Nyerere National Park (which used to be called Selous Game Reserve) is a fabulous safari experience. Although 2 days is not very long in this fantastic park, which is known for its lions, elephants, numerous other wildlife species, birdlife and varied landscapes, it’s still an excellent place to visit and explore, no matter how long you are here. Part of the park’s charm is the abundant water within and along its boundaries, adding both beauty and interesting wildlife habitat to your safari. Taking a boat safari along the Rufiji River is one of the best things you can do while on safari anywhere in Tanzania.
