And who better to guide you through this paradise than Safari Multiways, your trusted companion in African adventures? Let’s dive into how you can journey to this magnificent park and why booking your Tanzanian tour with us will transform your trip into an unforgettable expedition!
Why Nyerere National Park?
Formerly part of the larger Selous Game Reserve, Nyerere National Park is a newly christened natural paradise named in honor of Tanzania’s first president, Julius Nyerere. As the largest national park in Tanzania, it covers a staggering area that is home to some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, and over 440 species of birds.
The park’s diverse landscapes, from dense woodlands to vast open plains and the mighty Rufiji River, offer spectacular scenes and a true sense of adventure. Whether you’re a photographer, a nature lover, or an adventure seeker, Nyerere National Park provides a pristine setting for your safari dreams to come to life.
How to Get There?
Embarking on a safari to Nyerere National Park is an adventure in itself. Here’s how you can reach this majestic wilderness:
1. By Air: A Scenic Gateway
The quickest and most scenic way to reach Nyerere National Park is by air. Several local airlines operate daily flights from major cities like Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and even Zanzibar. These flights typically land at one of the several airstrips within the park, such as the Mtemere Airstrip or the Siwandu Airstrip. The flight offers a unique aerial view of the stunning landscapes and meandering water bodies that you simply can’t get from the ground.
At Safari Multiways, we can arrange your air travel, ensuring a smooth and scenic journey to the park. Our experience and partnerships with local operators allow us to provide reliable and timely travel options that maximize your safari time.
2. By Road: An Adventure Unfolds
For those who prefer to take the scenic route, driving to Nyerere National Park is an exhilarating experience. The journey from Dar es Salaam takes about 5 to 6 hours, covering approximately 230 kilometers. The route, primarily via the A7 highway, offers glimpses of Tanzania’s rural landscapes and bustling local life.
Our Safari Multiways vehicles are equipped to provide comfort and safety on these rugged adventures. Driven by experienced and knowledgeable drivers, your road trip to Nyerere will be as enjoyable as the destination itself.
3. On Water: Drifting on the Rufiji
Embrace a unique perspective of Nyerere National Park by entering through its vital lifeline, the Rufiji River. Boat safaris from nearby towns such as Mloka Village provide a serene and intimate approach to the park. Imagine drifting on the river, surrounded by nature’s sounds and sights, as you make your way to your safari lodge.
Safari Multiways offers organized boat transfers that not only add a layer of adventure to your journey but also give you a head start on your wildlife viewing, as the riverbanks are often teeming with animals.
When to Visit?
Nyerere National Park is enchanting year-round, but for the best wildlife viewing, we recommend visiting during the dry season, from June to October. This period sees animals congregating around water sources, making them easier to spot. The vegetation is also sparser, which improves visibility.
