SELOUS GAME
RESERVE
The Selous Game
Reserve has an area of more than 50,000 sq km making it
the world's largest conserved area excluding polar
regions. Selous is three times bigger than the Serengeti
National Park. The reserve is a World Heritage Site and
covers almost 6% of Tanzania's land. The Selous takes
its name from the famous hunter and conservationist
Frederick Courteney Selous who was killed in action in
WW1 within the now Selous. His grave lies close to the
Beho Beho Hills and can be seen on a gamedrive in that
area.
The Selous Game Reserve is home to a high diversity of
both large mammal and bird species. The Selous Game
Reserve has over 60,000 elephants and 40,000 hippos. The
world's largest population of African Hunting Dogs
exists in the reserve. Of Tanzania's 1,113 different
species of bird, 430 have been positively identified
within the Selous Game Reserve.

Selous: Wildlife and what you see on the game drive.
The Selous wildlife is all the more interesting because
it attracts both East and Southern African wildlife,
both resident and migratory, and over 440 known species
of birds. The waterways of the Rufiji River Delta
attract elephant herds, and are packed full of grunting
hippopotami and yawning crocodile that lumber into the
water at the first sound of a boat. The banks attract
large herds of plains game depending on the season,
dispersing after the rains and regrouping when the water
sources concentrate. To get a good idea of a safari
experience in the Selous.
