From the mountains to the plains, and onto the Lakes, Selous is, perhaps, the ultimate all-in-one safari destination. On foot, by boat, and, of course, in the 4×4, we are offering you the best of this magnificent game reserve from two beautiful, but very different camps.
The Selous Game Reserve Tanzania is one of the largest faunal reserves in the world, located in the south of Tanzania. Dry Season: June to mid-November. This is the best time for game viewing along the rivers and lakes. Elephants come out of the bush at that time and predators are more commonly seen. December to February is good for game viewing but can be rather hot and humid. Explore Selous Game Reserve Tanzania.
