Selous Game Reserve, officially part of the newly named Nyerere National Park, is one of the largest protected areas in Africa, covering over 50,000 square kilometers. Located in southern Tanzania, Selous is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its breathtaking landscapes, rich wildlife, and untouched wilderness.
This vast reserve is home to some of Africa’s greatest concentrations of elephants, hippos, crocodiles, African wild dogs, lions, leopards, buffaloes, and numerous bird species. The Rufiji River, Tanzania’s largest river, runs through Selous, creating a network of channels, lakes, and swamps, offering spectacular boat safari experiences.
Selous offers diverse safari experiences such as game drives, walking safaris, boat safaris, and fly-camping adventures. It provides a more remote and exclusive safari compared to the northern circuit parks, making it a perfect destination for true nature lovers and adventurers looking for an off-the-beaten-path experience.
The untouched beauty, stunning river systems, and rich animal life make Selous a magical safari destination, ideal for travelers seeking a unique, wild, and serene African journey.
