Selous Game Reserve,now Nyerere National Park, is the largest national park in Africa


Theย Selous Game Reserveย is a protected area in southernย Tanzania. It covers a total area of 50,000ย km2ย (19,000ย sqย mi) and has additional buffer zones. It was designated a UNESCOย World Heritage Siteย in 1982 due to its wildlife diversity and undisturbed nature.

Selous Game Reserves plays home to a wide variety of wildlife and an array of bird species, while exciting activities allow for a different pace of safari as you explore waterways by boat, and seasonal wetlands on foot. Itโ€™s a lesser-known destination and, therefore, is less crowded than the popular northern parks in Tanzania, which gives it a wilder and more private atmosphere. The park is home to many species, including a good population of wild dogs and the Big 5, which reside in the Miombo woodlands and marshy floodplains.

Top Selous Activities

Experience a perfect combination of a boating safari and some fun catch-and-release fishing safari while exploring the rivers that provide a substantial population of tigerfish and catfish.
