It seems that 5 % of the entire territory of Tanzania is not so much. But what if you compare these 55 thousand square kilometers with the area of Switzerland? This is the size of the area occupied by the largest reserve in Africa - Selous. Its flora and fauna are incredibly diverse! Hop in a jeep and go on a safari across vast plains with peacefully strolling herds of zebras and buffaloes, along wild rivers surrounded by crowded elephants, through dense rainforests with panthers and exotic birds.

Animals walk a few meters away from you. Oddly enough, they are not afraid at all and do not stop chewing grass for a minute. The grass in the distance moves slightly noticeably, and a second later a lion's pride, running after a flock of antelopes, appears. It's just breathtaking!

You will not find a single house or even a small shed there. All buildings in the Selous Game Reserve are prohibited: there is only the unique flora and fauna of the African continent. It is very difficult to say exactly how many animals are in the reserve. There are hippos, crocodiles, elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, fat buffaloes, and, of course, graceful wild cats. But the birds, which are also a very curious feature of the reserve, were roughly counted. There are about 500 species of them.

A safari in the Selous Game Reserve will be one of the strongest impressions of your vacation, and probably of your entire life. To make sure this happens, come between June and November. This is a time of drought in Africa. Animals try to stay close to the water and hide in low thickets. There is also a chance to witness an incredible, frightening event - the Great Migration of Herbivores. Herds of antelopes, buffaloes, zebras run to where there's more water ignoring any obstacles.

Coming to the Selous Game Reserve is like entering another world of beautiful wildlife!
