Selous Game Reserve is is one with the
large number of elephant, buffalo and wildebeest expedition. The reserve is
also home to the black rhino, giraffe, zebra, kudu, hartebeests, elk, hippo,
lion, leopard, wild dogs and sable
antelopes. The area is very vast resulting in
long game drives to cover the diverse habitats of the park. But it is a
pleasure to drive around in the early morning with breakfast at hand or in the
late afternoon with a cold drink. This really is a paradise for African safari goers! Selous Game Reserve.
Covering fifty-four thousand square kilometres of south-western Tanzania, it is
three times the size of Serengeti, and remains the largest protected wilderness
reserve on the continent. The best times to visit Selous GR are during the cooler,
drier season from June to October, and into November, December and January.
Much of the reserve is inaccessible between March and May as a result of strong
rains.
