Selous Game Reserve

Selous Game Reserve – Africa’s Untamed Wilderness

Once Africa’s largest game reserve, now part of the renowned Nyerere National Park, Selous remains a wild and untouched Eden. Spanning over 50,000 square kilometers, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a haven for those seeking raw safari experiences away from the crowds.

What Makes Selous Special?

Unlike the more touristic parks, Selous offers true remoteness, vast landscapes, and a diverse ecosystem that supports some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife.

Highlights include:

• Large populations of elephants, hippos, and crocodiles
• The rare and endangered African wild dogs
• Scenic Rufiji River offering water-based safaris
• Uninterrupted views of wildlife in a natural, less crowded setting

Safari on Water

One of the unique features of Selous is the chance to experience a boat safari. Glide along the Rufiji River, where hippos grunt from the banks, crocodiles sunbathe lazily, and elephants often come down to drink.

Game Drives, Walking Safaris & Real Adventure

From classic 4×4 game drives to guided walking safaris, Selous offers a variety of ways to explore. The open terrain allows for intimate encounters with wildlife, and you’ll often feel like you have the entire park to yourself.
