Nyerere National Park - Selous Game Reserve

The largest national park in Tanzania, Nyerere National Park (part of the vast Selous Game Reserve) contains some of the greatest concentrations of big game left on earth, including many of the last remaining black rhino, and one of the largest populations of wild dog in Africa. Owing to this huge array of wildlife, as well as its sheer scale and unique topography, Nyerere National Park is now a designated world heritage site.
