Selous Game Reserve
Africa’s largest protected reserve
Home » Destinations » Tanzania »
Tanzania’s Selous Game Reserve is Africa’s largest protected reserve and the country’s largest protected area. This vast 30,000-square-mile area of wild and rugged terrain is larger than the entire country of Switzerland and spans more than 5% of Tanzania’s southern heartland. When you travel to Selous with Kizo Safaris, you are unlikely to see another game drive vehicle during your stay. Luxury lodges and tented camps, combined with private plane transfers, ensure a truly wild and untouched African experience.
There are more activities here than in any other Tanzanian safari park, including game drives, walking safaris, boat safaris, fly camping, and incredible fishing opportunities, and they frequently result in the cries of the fish eagle, crocodile and hippo sightings in the river, and animal tracks dotting past your front door.

Best time to visit:
The dry season lasts from June to November, and this is the best time to see great game. From January to April, the weather is green and ideal for birdwatching, but the terrain is difficult for game drives.
Things to do at the park:
1. Game drives
2. Guided bush walks
3. River safaris
4. Tiger fishing
