Rich wildlife, very nice diverse scenery with lakes, bush, forest, rivers
Forest like vegetation offer a lot of hide-outs animals like lions are sometimes difficult to spot

all animals seen, very good roads, natural sceneries. Fully recommended.
watch out: Rhinos are not seen in the park since ever, basically no one remembers to have seen one. rest of animals are present and abundant.
Nyerere is a good option for those travelling from DAR and Zanzibar.

As this was our first safari destination, there were a number of firsts !
There were a number of encounters, often quite close.

It's a greener environment than the savannah parks further north, but that provides more hiding places for the wildlife meaning that some animals that are commonplace further north, are present but difficult to spot here. Fewer fellow tourists.
