AFRICA’S LARGEST GAME RESERVE SITS SILENTLY IN TANZANIA’S SOUTHERN CIRCUIT. THE EXPANSIVE SELOUS GAME RESERVE APPEALS TO SEASONED TRAVELLERS CRAVING SCENIC SOLITUDE AND TRANQUILLITY. IT IS ALSO ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO EMBARK ON A WALKING SAFARI. REMAINING LARGELY UNDISTURBED BY HUMAN IMPACT, THIS UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE HAS THAT AUTHENTIC AFRICAN BUSH FEEL.
Meandering through the reserve is Rufiji River, the country’s largest river and the reserve’s lifeblood feeding into lakes. With swamps, open grasslands, riverine forests and Miombo woodlands, there is no shortage of habits for the 1 000 000 large animals, which includes predators and over half of Tanzania’s elephant population. Great concentrations of important species make for excellent game viewing—particularly in the northern part of Selous Game Reserve, which is where one wants to be. Several small lodges subtly scattered throughout provide opulent accommodation and excellent cuisine.
