About Nyerere National Park

Wild water country

Southern Tanzania, south-west of Dar es Salaam

Nyerere National Park is defined by the winding Rufiji River, its lakes, channels and sandbanks alive with hippo, crocodile and waterbirds.

Here discovery goes beyond the vehicle — boat and walking safaris bring you close to a landscape of palm-fringed lagoons and open woodland.
