Het Nyerere Nationaal Park (voorheen Selous Wildreservaat) is een van de grootste beschermde gebieden van Afrika – het kerngebied omvat 30.893 vierkante kilometer aan miombo-bos, zandrivieren en meerensystemen. Hier leeft een van de grootste populaties wilde honden ter wereld. De boottochten op de Rufiji-rivier zijn buitengewoon. De afgelegen ligging van het park in het zuiden zorgt ervoor dat het aantal bezoekers zeer laag blijft, waardoor het een van de meest ongerepte bestemmingen van het continent is.
