Selous Game Reserve is the largest wildlife area in Africa. A UNISECO World Heritage site, this pristine uninhabited area is larger than Switzerland. Selous boasts Tanzania’s largest population of elephant as large numbers of lion, leopard, African hunting dog, buffalo and hippo. The Rufiji River is teeming with hippo and crocodile, and the birdlife is fantastic. Lion sightings are very common as the opportunistic creatures tend to laze around the lakes waiting for animals coming to drink. One of the attractions of the park is the chance to encounter wild dog. It is ideal for game drives, walking safari and cultural tours
