Nyerere national park

Selous Game Reserve, located in southern Tanzania, is one of the largest protected areas in Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spanning over 50,000 square kilometers, the reserve is named after Frederick Selous, a British explorer and conservationist who was instrumental in its establishment.

Renowned for its vast wilderness and pristine landscapes, Selous is characterized by its diverse habitats, including grassy plains, woodlands, rivers, and wetlands. The Rufiji River, the largest river in Tanzania, flows through the reserve, creating a lifeline for wildlife and offering spectacular opportunities for boat safaris.

Selous is home to a remarkable array of wildlife, including large populations of elephants, buffaloes, hippos, and crocodiles. It’s also one of the last strongholds for the endangered African wild dog, with healthy populations roaming the reserve. Predators such as lions, leopards, and hyenas are also present, providing thrilling wildlife viewing experiences.

Visitors to Selous can explore the reserve on guided game drives, walking safaris, boat safaris, and even fly camping adventures, allowing for a variety of immersive experiences in the bush. The reserve’s remote location and low visitor numbers ensure a sense of exclusivity and wilderness immersion, making it an ideal destination for those seeking an authentic safari experience away from the crowds.
