This full day of game drives was spent at Selous Game Reserve which was named after the British former military and explorer; Frederick Selous. The Selous Game Reserve in the Southern Tanzania safari circuit is the largest protected wildlife reserve. The game reserve is also a UNESCO World Heritage site and a pristine uninhabited area spreading vast plains and woodlands measuring larger than the entire country of Switzerland. The beautiful topography of the park varies from rolling savannah woodland, grassland plain, and rocky outcrops which were cut by the legendary Rufiji River and its various tributaries. Selous has the world’s largest number of big game – elephant, buffalo, and rarely black rhinos. The Selous is also home to wildebeest, eland, giraffe, waterbuck, zebra, impala, hippo, leopard, and lion, but more notably the wild dogs which can be seen easily in this Game reserve than anywhere else in a natural habitat in Tanzania. There are about 350 species of birdlife.
