The Selous Game Reserve is the largest game reserve in Africa (second largest in the world).
Selous holds large numbers of wildlife, most of it along
the mighty Rufiji River. Due to seasonal flooding, it has created along
its course many permanent lakes which are centres of wildlife activity.
In addition to a large population of elephants, there are buffalo, wildebeest,
zebra, waterbuck, eland, lion, leopard, wild dogs, hippo, crocodiles, etc.,
and over 350 species of water and land birds. Only in Selous one can experience
the thrill of a walking safari, which assures close contact with wildlife.
