TANZANIA - SELOUS GAME RESERVE
In depth guide to the seasons, animals, birds and wildlife habitats
of Selous in Tanzania
Enter Africa's largest protected area uninhabited by man, where
Tanzania's greatest population of elephants wander in an area bigger
than Switzerland! The Selous (pronounced “Seloo”) is considered
important enough to be World Heritage Site, in which the lucky few
can experience a safari in absolutely wild and unspoiled bush.
The park is named after Englishman, Frederick Courtney Selous -
conservationist, hunter, explorer and author, whose adventure books
on Africa became best sellers in Victorian England.
The park varies from rolling grassy woodlands and plains, to rocky
outcrops cut by the Rufiji River - the lifeblood of the park, whose
tributaries form a network of lakes, lagoons and channels. Volcanic
hot springs even burst forth in places. The Rufiji offers a superb
method of game viewing especially during the dry season when animals
congregate.
ANIMALS AND AQUATIC LIFE
Selous contains about one third of all the wild dogs (often called
painted dogs), in the world. Their need to roam vast areas and their
formidable hunting skills have caused many to be shot by farmers,
but here in Selous they have boundless woodlands and savannahs in
which to roam.
Along the Rufiji River, an array of grazing antelopes, crocodiles
and hippos are commonly seen as well as black and white colobus
monkeys in the riverine forests. During the dry season from June to
October, the concentration of animals along the river is
astonishing. Linked to the Rufii is Lake Tagalala where waterbuck,
reedbuck and bushbuck gather at the water's edge. Magnificent
sickle-horned sable and curly-horned greater kudu tend to keep to
the longer grass and wooded shrubby areas.
In the dry season an ancient migration of elephants takes place
between the Selous and Mozambique's Niassa Game Reserves. This is
one of the largest natural trans-boundary eco-systems in Africa and
at the last consensus it was estimated that 64,400 elephants roam
the two parks, with 84% on the Tanzanian side.
Fierce tiger fish and smooth slippery vandu catfish are caught in
the rivers. The latter is equipped with primitive lungs allowing it
to cross land for short distance in an attempt to find water water
during the dry season.
SEASONS
Dry Season: The dry season sets in during June to November and is
the best time for game viewing along the rivers. Elephants come out
of the bush at that time and predators are more commonly seen.
Rainy Season: January to April is wonderful for birdlife ad lush
scenery but many roads become impassable after heavy rains. December
to February is still good for game viewing but can be rather hot and
humid. The safari lodges are usually closed from March to May.

Road access is only possible during the dry season and most visitors
fly in from Dar es Salaam by charter aircraft.
Safari lodges are restricted to the top 20% of the reserve.
This is a malarial area.
Tanzania Camping Safaris

safari. These type of safaris are excellent for a person who enjoys
outdoor activities! With our camping tours, we use our 4 wheel
