Selous Game Reserve Safaris

Immerse in Vast

Southern Tanzanian Wilds

Embrace the vast expanse and authentic wild encounters of Selous Game Reserve in Southern Tanzania. This captivating wilderness, teeming with wildlife, offers adventurous exploration opportunities within its stunning landscapes.

As one of Africa’s largest protected areas, Selous Game Reserve spans over 50,000 square kilometres and is home to diverse wildlife and vegetation. Its remote and untouched nature makes it an exceptional addition to any Tanzanian safari. Unlike the northern parks, Selous lies at a lower altitude, providing a different climate and unique fauna and flora. The landscape varies from woodlands and grasslands to riverine forests and swamps, creating a remarkable safari experience.

The Rufiji River, with its interconnected lakes, channels, swamps, and sand rivers, is the heart of the reserve. Selous offers a diverse safari experience with both water-based and land-based excursions. The park is rich in wildlife, including elephants, black rhinos, giraffes, hippos, buffalo, and numerous predators such as lions, wild dogs, cheetahs, leopards, and spotted hyenas.

A standout feature of Selous Game Reserve is the variety of activities available. Unlike Tanzania’s national parks, Selous allows for walking safaris, boat safaris, and camping, providing a more interactive and thrilling experience of Africa’s wilderness. Whether tracking lions on foot or exploring the waterways by boat, a safari in Selous promises unforgettable adventures and lasting memories.
