The **Selous Game Reserve** - the core of which is now protected as **Nyerere National Park** - is one of the largest and wildest protected areas in Africa. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers a remote, exclusive safari far from the crowds, centred on the meandering **Rufiji River** and its maze of channels and lakes.
What sets the Selous apart is the range of experiences on offer. Alongside classic game drives, you can explore by **boat safari** - drifting past hippos, crocodiles and elephants at the water’s edge - or on guided walking safaris. The reserve holds large populations of elephant, buffalo, hippo and giraffe, excellent lion and leopard, and one of Africa’s most important strongholds for the endangered African wild dog.
