Nyerere National Park

The Park is located in south eastern Tanzania, and was carved out of the Selous Game Reserve. The park is home to a large number of birds and mammals. 

 For bird watchers, there are more than 430 recorded bird species in the park combined with Selous Reserve. Some of the birds one can spot here include the Giant Kingfishers, Pink-backed Pelicans, White-fronted Bee-eaters, African Skimmers, Ibises, Yellow-billed stork, Purple-crested Turaco, Malagasy squacco Heron, Fish Eagles, Hornbilland many more birds.

BEST TIME TO VISIT: Mid June to October is generally considered the best time to visit Nyerere National Park. This is the typical Dry season which means the vegetation is thinner and the animals are easier to spot, with many of them being found at various watering spots in the park such as watering holes or the river shores. October to May tends to be wetter and this means thicker, lush green vegetation though the days can get rather warm and humid.
