Nyerere (Selous) Safari Packages & Zanzibar

From the wild plains of Nyerere National Park to the turquoise waters of Zanzibar, experience the perfect blend of safari and beach in Tanzania.

A Safari Adventure from Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar

A safari to Nyerere National Park is one of the most rewarding wildlife adventures in Tanzania, offering vast wilderness, rich biodiversity, and fewer crowds than the northern safari circuit. Formerly part of the famous Selous Game Reserve, this protected area is among the largest national parks in Africa and is renowned for its large populations of elephants, lions, buffalo, and the rare African wild dog. Visitors can enjoy:

  • classic game drives,
  • scenic boat safaris along the Rufiji River, and
  • guided walking safaris that bring them closer to nature.

Many Nyerere National Park safari tours start from Dar es Salaam or the tropical island of Zanzibar, making it easy to combine a southern Tanzania safari with a beach holiday. Whether you are planning a short Nyerere National Park safari from Zanzibar, a weekend safari from Dar es Salaam, or a longer southern Tanzania safari package, this remarkable destination promises unforgettable wildlife encounters in one of Africa’s most pristine and untouched safari landscapes.
