The Selous Game Reserve - An expert guide to Selous Safaris and Accommodation Options
The Rufiji River, with its lagoons, sandbanks and lakes, and the surrounding forests and woodlands that make up the Selous Game Reserve create a very unique and unusual safari environment.
The vast area contained within the reserve boundaries accounts for 5% of the land mass of Tanzania, and yet all options for tourists are high quality, low-impact lodges that provide a high standard of accommodation. (Please see below).
Covering almost 50,000 square km, an area greater than Switzerland, the Selous Game Reserve is one of the largest areas set aside for wildlife preservation anywhere in the world, although only a small northern portion is allocated for photographic tourism.
Selous Safaris; walking and boating, and fly camping
The freedom to take walking and boating safaris within the conservation area means that guiding standards are also especially good and can extend to include excellent options to fly-camp overnight in the bush.
Photographing the Selous
This is an area that naturally appeals to a photographic lens, as the waterways and plains reflect all the changing colors of the sun and attract numerous fine-feathered water birds and raptors.
