Le parc national de Nyerere (anciennement réserve de chasse de Selous) est l'une des plus grandes zones protégées d'Afrique. Sa zone centrale couvre 30 893 km² de forêts de miombo, de rivières de sable et de systèmes lacustres. C'est ici que l'une des plus importantes populations de chiens sauvages au monde se trouve. Les safaris en bateau sur le fleuve Rufiji sont exceptionnels. L'emplacement isolé du parc, situé dans le sud, maintient le nombre de visiteurs très faible, ce qui en fait l'une des destinations les plus sauvages du continent.
