In the south of Tanzania, Nyerere National Park, located in Selous Game Reserve, is the largest national park in Africa. Hundreds of species of plants, mammals, and birds. A tower of giraffes galloping over the plains, a herd of gazelles grazing, a pride of lions sunbathing, a gang of buffaloes staring at you, a flock of rollers passing by… and last but not least, Selous is one of the few sites where you still can find several packs of African wild dogs.
A boat safari on the majestic Rufiji River, brings you close to the hippos, crocs, and birdlife, and is a must-do activity.

World’s best known national park, a World Heritage site since 1979, the habitat of thousands of buffaloes, wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, elephants and giraffes. All being watched by lions, cheetahs and leopards.
The annual Migration over the “endless plains” (the meaning of “Serenget” in Maa, the language of the Maasai) is a once in a lifetime experience, not to be missed. The massive number of wildebeests and zebras is one of the most impressive things to see.
