Within a short flight from Dar es-Salaam, this enormous wildlife area in <strong>southern Tanzania<\/strong> is a superb safari destination, one that appeals to both safari aficionados and first-time visitors.<\/p>\n<p>This paradise of untouched wilderness is named after Sir Frederick Selous, an imperial adventurer, professional hunter and\u00a0conservationist,\u00a0who was killed here in 1917. He was buried under a tamarind\u00a0tree in the shadow of the Beho Beho hills, near the place of his death.<\/p>\n<p>The mighty <strong>Rufiji River<\/strong> is a major feature. It cuts a path past open grasslands, dense woodlands and stands of borassus palm trees, and splits the Selous Game Reserve into two sections. Note that only the section north of the river is open to visitors, while the other areas are zoned as hunting concessions.<\/p>\n<p>Read on to find out more on the <strong>Selous Game Reserve<\/strong>, the most extensive protected area in Tanzania.<\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-815\" src=\"https:\/\/hoaexp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_1048458556.jpg\" alt=\"gyraffe in selous national park\" width=\"800\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.hoaexp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_1048458556.jpg 800w, https:\/\/blog.hoaexp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/shutterstock_1048458556-768x553.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2>Amazing wildlife<\/h2>\n<p>Due to the reserve\u2019s size, there is plenty to see and do in the area. The remote Selous Game Reserve boasts large concentrations of <strong>hippos<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/hoaexp.com\/2020\/05\/06\/omo-the-tanzanian-white-giraffe\/\">giraffes<\/a>, cheetahs, baboons, African hunting dogs and<strong> Nile crocodiles<\/strong>, which can reach up to five meters in length and are considered the second largest reptile in the world after saltwater crocs.<\/p>\n<p>Selous is home to one of the largest <strong>elephant<\/strong> concentrations in Africa, and you are likely to see large herds of buffalos, zebras, impalas, elands, wildebeests and antelopes as well. There are healthy populations of majestic <strong>lions<\/strong>, and some of Tanzania\u2019s last remaining <strong>black rhinoceros<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>With <strong>over 400 bird species<\/strong>, Selous has become a hotspot for <strong>bird-watching<\/strong>. The lakes and waterways offer some of the best bird sightings.<\/p>\n<p>Walking safaris and night drives are extremely popular here. Furthermore, the reserve\u2019s swamps, wetlands, lakes and rivers provide unparalleled water-based wildlife watching and allow visitors to enjoy <strong>boat safaris<\/strong>, a Selous highlight. You can take boat trips on lakes Tagalala and Manze, and float down the Rufiji River, surrounded by hippos and gigantic crocodiles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2098\" src=\"https:\/\/hoaexp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/destination_1524238858-850x395-1.jpg\" alt=\"elephants crossing river in selous\" width=\"850\" height=\"395\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.hoaexp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/destination_1524238858-850x395-1.jpg 850w, https:\/\/blog.hoaexp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/destination_1524238858-850x395-1-768x356.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>When to go<\/h2>\n<p>The best time to visit Selous is during the <strong>dry season<\/strong> \u2013 from June to October \u2013 when the climate is warm, foliage is less dense, there are fewer mosquitos, and the lack of water means wild animals are more easily spotted around water sources.<\/p>\n<p><b>Bird-watching<\/b> is good year-round, and outstanding when many migratory species arrive from Europe and North Africa in April.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Get off the beaten path, then, to explore the little-visited <strong>Selous Game Reserve<\/strong>.
