The Nyerere National Park is located in south-eastern Tanzania, about 230 km from busy Dar es Salaam city to the park’s Mtemere Gate. The park can, in theory, be reached by road – a five-hour journey – but nearly everyone will arrive on a domestic flight with Coastal Aviation, Safari Air Link, or Zanair. Mtemere is the closest airstrip, 15 minutes away; Siwandu Airstrip is one hour away.
The Selous Wilderness Camp is on the banks of the Rufiji River.
The dry season is from June to the end of October/the start of November, and it is during this dry period the wildlife will gather around the diminishing water resources – making them easy to see! So-called ‘short rains’ fall in November and December, and this is springtime in Nyerere. It’s a great time for plants, flowers, insects, and birdlife. This is also the main birthing time, a great time to see baby animals. January to March is the hot and humid season with occasional rain showers. March, April, and May are the rainy months.
