selous game reserve its no. 1

The Selous Game Reserve is the largest in Africa, an uninhibited area the size of Switzerland.

If you are looking for elephants, this is the place to find them: there is a large population of these giant mammals. The vast majority of Tanzania's elephant herd live in one remote stretch of safari wilderness - the  Selous Game Reserve.

Other species commonly seen are lions, wild dogs, buffaloes, bushbucks, impalas, elands, baboons, zebras and greater kudus. The Rufiji River system, the greatest in East Africa flows through the reserve and is home to countless hippos and crocodiles. Linked to the Rufiji is Lake Tagalla, where waterbucks, reedbucks, bushbucks and the rare sable antelope can be seen.

Selous Game Reserve gets its name from the hunter and explorer (soldier) Frederick Courtney Selous, whose books about his exploits were best sellers in Victoria England. He was killed here during the fighting in WW1, (snipers bullet to the head).

Walking safaris, game drives and boat trips are organized. The Rufiji River provides excellent opportunities for sailing or rafting to view game. Fishing is allowed in the rivers of the Kilombero Game Controlled area to the west of the reserve, where tiger fish and catfish are plenty. Much of the reserve is available for hunting.

Stiegler's Gorge is one of the park's most striking features. This gaping 

chasm channels the frothing confluence of the Great Ruaha and Rufiji Rivers.

After this bottle neck, the Rufiji swells through the park down to the Indian Ocean forming a series 

of small lakes that serve as an important source of water for the multitude of the plains game. The

hinterland around Lake Tagalla and Beho Beho is some of the most picturesque in area.

Some distance from Lake Tagalla, whose shape and size is in a constant state of flux, hidden in
a ravine surrounded by lush vegetation, are the Maji Moto hot springs. In this fascinating area, 
waterbuck, southern reed-buck and bushbuck are common.

During the dry season, rare sable antelope, lion and greater kudu frequent the Lake.
Lined with Borassus palms, the muddy Rufiji is the Selous Game Reserve's main artery.

During the dry season between June and October the river banks explode in a spectacular flood of the plains animals quenching their thirst all under the opportunistic eye of crocodile.
The Selous Game Reserve is home to over 350 species of birdlife.
The largest African reserve covers an area of 55,000 sq km and is crossed by the Rufiji River full of hippos, crocodiles, and fish. Its tributaries form a network of lakes ideal for boat safaris, wildlife observation and bird watching; over 350 species have been catalogued.
