With its flora, fauna, hot springs, lagoons, rivers and various types of landscapes Nyerere has earned its spot on the World Heritage List since 1982. In spite of the large surface area, this area has only a handful of luxury safari camps, so it remains a unique and exclusive destination. At Nyerere Game Reserve you can do a boat trip on the Rufiji river, do some sailing between the hippos, crocodiles and many (water) birds. Walking safaris and game drives are also popular activities in the reserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
