The Selous, occupying an enormous land area of 5500 sq km, is the largest Game Reserve in Africa. The reserve is one of Africa's greatest wilderness, where the forest and bust are untamed and the animals unmolested by man. The Rufiji River system which flows through the reserve, flooding it during the rain season, further limits human trespass into this animal kingdom which boasts of over a million wild animals including some of the biggest population of elephants in the world.
Other species commonly seen are lion, wild dog, buffalo, bush buck, impala, warthog, leopard, hartebeest, wildebeest, sable antelope, reedbuck, waterbuck, giraffe, eland, baboon, zebra, geaterkudu and the countless hippos and crocodiles which flock the Rufiji river(the greatest in East Africa).
Walking safari accompanied by an armed ranger can be together with game drivers and boat trips.
The best time to visit the reserve is from June to October.
