You’ll find the majestic fish eagle soaring over the park’s rivers, lilac-breasted rollers displaying their vibrant colors, and a variety of herons, storks, and pelicans near the waterholes and wetlands. During the wet season, migratory birds from Europe and Asia arrive, further enhancing the park's already impressive birdlife.

Diverse Ecosystems & Stunning Landscapes:

Nyerenyere National Park boasts a diverse range of ecosystems, including open savannahs, dense woodlands, riverine forests, and floodplains.
