The Selous Game Reserve is Africa’s biggest protected wildlife area that extends 150km into Mozambique. This is the highlight of Tanzania’s southern safari circuit.

The Rufiji River flows through the reserve attracting great herds of Tanzania’s great elephant population and allows visitors to experience the reserve by boat. It is said that this reserve hosts Africa’s biggest elephant and wild dog populations, attracted to the tranquillity of the park and the water supplied by the rivers and lakes. July to October could be pin-pointed as the best time of year to visit the Selous, as it is a classic dry season destination. The wildlife congregate at the water sources and put on a great game-viewing performance.
