Selous Game Reserve
The selous Game Reserve in the Southern Part of Tanzania covers and area of over 54,000 square kilometers and is one of the most remote safari destinations in Tanzania harboring some very unique wildlife in Africa. The numbers of Wildlife are much higher in the selous game reserve and game viewing safaris in this park is considered the best because of the few numbers of safari trucks and tourists. The Selous game reserve boasts of huge numbers of elephants, cape buffalo wild dog or hunting dog packs, warthog, wildebeest, Impala, lion, leopard, Zebra and other wildlife. The selous game reserve is watered by the tributaries of the Rufiji which means that most of the Big game safari animals are mostly non migratory and are seen all year around. It is because of these water sources that game drives as well as boat cruises on the River are possible from the different safari camps or Lodges. Along the banks of the River Rufiji and the resultant oxbow lakes, it is possible to see animals at the water holes as well as kills. A selous safari tends to be favored for the months of June – October as well as the peak safari season of January and February every year. Otherwise, the camps are usually closed due to the heavy rainy seasons in the months of March to May apart from the permanent safari lodges Tanzania Safari
