Nyerere National Park
Africa's largest park, defined by the braided Rufiji River.
Nyerere National Park sits in Tanzania's Southern Circuit and is one of the anchor destinations on our itineraries. Our guides know its roads, its river crossings and its quiet corners, so your days are planned around light and animal movement rather than a fixed checklist.
The best time to visit is june to october, though every season here has its own character. We build each visit around private vehicles, unhurried mornings and lodges chosen for their location rather than their brochure.
Talk to our team about combining this destination with the rest of your route — most travellers pair it with two or three other parks for a full week or more in the field.
