Nice trip, good itinerary but long way to the Park, +7 hours for 200km on bumpy road.

Great nature but terrible roads:) We understand the roads in the bush is off road but the main roads are terrible and we feel sorry for the guys driving on these roads every day

Nyerere National Park is a top-tier safari destination, known for its vast wilderness and rich wildlife diversity. The Rufiji River adds a unique touch, offering incredible boat safaris alongside classic game drives. It’s ideal for those seeking an authentic, uncrowded safari with stunning scenery and excellent chances to see predators and large herds.

Fantastic area. Well looked after and exceptional experience with all of the animals. Our guide was an amazing driver and very knowledgeable about the park and it's animals.

Nyerere National Park is very large. Wildlife is very present there. You can see many animals (elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, etc.).
However, the BIG 5 will be more difficult to see. Already because of the size of the park, so you sometimes have to travel long distances. Also because the rhino is endangered and is therefore much rarer on the continent in general. Otherwise, the landscapes are truly magnificent, the calm and the sounds of wildlife are exactly like those you could see/hear in a TV report.
Talking to other tourists who have visited the Serengeti or Ngorongoro national parks in northern Tanzania, we understand that the experience is different (the number of animals in the north is greater than in Nyerere). However, the wonder is identical :)
A small positive point during the visit to Nyerere Park, I had the chance to bathe in hot springs. A little scary but also super relaxing. I absolutely recommend visiting this park!

All tour operators harassing the wildlife, likely because we saw very few animals and they wanted to make tourists happy but it was wrong.
