Just avoid this park (at least in rainy season). I don't know how it is in dry season. No animals, terrible roads , and 7 hours drive from Dar Es Salaam. A proper nightmare.

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

Missed Lions & Hyenas

Was so excited to visit Nyerere NP Tanzania, but was a bit disappointed as we could not spot even a single Lion, Leopard or Hyena in 3 day safari. I was surprised to find a fresh dead deer, with no vultures in sight. Although, there were a lot of Hippos & elephants, but even Zebras & wild beast were not easily spotted, adding further to disappointment. Yes we saw a lot of Giraffe, baboons & impala. Keeping in view the history, reports & size of Nyerere NP, it was just an average visit. No lions, no tourists attraction.

Larger than anything. Wildlife is usually har to find and weather can be tricky, really hot and humid. But this place is for the turists who want to meet the real wild Africa. I´m really glad to have been there before it gets too crowded like the other parks.

Because we were before in Serengenti, we had seen there everything, so Selous was for us rather poor

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
