Overview
Nyerere National Park ( former Selous Game Reserve ) Is One Largest Faunal Reserves Of The World, But Most Of It Has Been Set Aside For Hunting. The Game Viewing Area Open To The Public Is Relatively Small, But Very Rewarding With Many Predator Sightings And Excellent Boat Safaris On The Rufiji River The Rufiji River Is Teeming With Hippos And Crocodiles And The Birdlife Is Fantastic. Lion Sightings Are Very Common As The Opportunistic Creatures Tend To Laze Around The Lakes Waiting For Animals Coming To Drink. One Of The Main Attractions Of The Park Is Its Large Population Of Wild Dogs.
Dry Season; The Dry Season Sets In During June To November And Is The Best Time For Game Viewing Along The Rivers. Elephants Come Out Of The Bush At That Time And Predators Are More Commonly Seen. Rainy Season: January To April Is Wonderful For Birdlife Ad Lush Scenery But Many Roads Become Impassable After Heavy Rains. December To February Is Still Good For Game Viewing But Can Be Rather Hot And Humid. The Safari Lodges Are Usually Closed From March To May.
