Nyerere National park
Nyerere National Park (formerly the northern part of Selous Game Reserve, pronunciation: “Seluu”) is the largest national park in Tanzania and also one of the world’s largest wildlife sanctuaries. The total area of the park is 30,893 km2 (11,928 sq. mi) and covers the Matemwe, Morogoro, Lindi, Mtwara and Ruvuma regions. The area is larger than 70 countries in the world and is estimated to be twice the size of Costa Rica (Central America) and about twice the size of Belgium (Europe). Much of the area is in a natural state without being disturbed by human activities.
