The Selous Game Reserve now renamed as Nyerere National Park in southeastern Tanzania spans 50,000 square kilometers, earning its place as Africa’s largest game reserve and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Known for its diverse wildlife, including elephants, buffalos, and predators, the reserve boasts a varied landscape with woodlands, grasslands, and the Rufiji River.

Unique to Selous are boat safaris along its waterways, providing a distinct perspective for wildlife observation. Walking safaris offer a more intimate experience with the reserve’s ecosystems. Despite conservation challenges, including poaching, efforts persist to protect this pristine wilderness.

Selous, less visited than Serengeti or Ngorongoro Crater, retains a remote charm, attracting those seeking exclusivity. Travelers are encouraged to stay informed about regulations and conservation initiatives for an enriching visit to this untouched African wilderness.
