Selous - Tanzania
The Selous Game Reserve
Our location
One of the largest faunal reserves in the
world, The Selous Game Reserve is located in
southern Tanzania, close the eastern coast of
Africa.
Africa Safari Camp (Selous) is only a 250km
drive from Dar es Salaam, the economic
capital of Tanzania. Dar es Salaam airport has
many international connections and you don’t
have to worry at all, we will help you organize
everything! We have contacts with excellent
hotels, in case you need a overnight stay in Dar
Salaam.
It was named after Sir Frederick Selous, a
famous British big game hunter and early
conservationist. The UNESCO designated the
reserve a World Heritage Site in 1982, due its
diverse wildlife and undisturbed nature.
The reserve covers a total area of 54,600 km2
and has additional buffer zones. Within the
reserve no permanent human habitation or
structures are permitted. All (human) entry
and exit is carefully controlled by the Wildlife
Division of the Tanzanian Ministry of Natural
Resources and Tourism.
Selous is unique for the number and diversity
of animals that can be sighted. Elephants,
hippopotami, African wild dogs, cape buffalos
and crocodiles are relatively easy to find and
photograph.
Selous is a Game Reserve, so it enjoys many
advantages over National Parks, including
more freedom to explore and no time
restrictions.
Interesting places in the park include the
Rufiji River, which flows into the Indian
Ocean opposite Mafia Island, and the Stiegler
Gorge, a canyon of 100m deep and 100m
wide. Habitats include grassland, typical
Acacia savanna, wetlands and extensive
Miombo woodlands.
The Selous Mtemere section has permission
to drive off-road with open cars, bush-walk,
boat safari and tour the villages. Even on busy
days it does not get crowded, and you do not
have to drive very far in Selous to enjoy the
diversity of the wildlife - another advantage,
unique to Selous
There are two ways to get to Safari Selous
Camp: by land or by air. If you have the time,
come by road as it is a very scenic trip where
you get to see the local villages, the forests and
much more. The drive takes around 5 hours on
good tarmac and sand roads. If you prefer to
travel by air, it is a short 20 minute flight from
Dar es Salaam, or 40 minutes from Zanzibar. A
good combinations is for you come by car and
return by air.
We offer daily morning and afternoon flights,
with Cesna Caravan 13 seater airplanes.
All airplanes are new and very safe, strictly
controlled by governmental and international
institutions.
A Safari in Selous is perfect to combine with a
relaxing beach holiday in Zanzibar.

Northern Tanzania
The beautiful Northern landscapes of Tanzania
include Ngorongoro Crater and the majestic
Kilimanjaro. Please take into account that for
this trip you will need more time and a slightly
larger budget.
The Serengeti
The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania offers
the absolute classic African safari setting.
The grasslands make the Serengeti fantastic
for spotting lion kills because you can see
the whole spectacle clearly. The migration
of millions of wildebeest and zebra starts
here, and because it’s much larger than the
Masai Mara in Kenya, the park is less densely
populated with minibuses full of tourists.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
The Ngorongoro Conservation area borders
the Serengeti in northern Tanzania and
includes the world’s largest crater which acts as
a natural enclosure for almost every species of
wildlife found in East Africa. This includes the
very rare black rhino. The Ngorongoro Crater
is where you’ll witness some of the densest
population of wildlife in the world and it’s a
truly amazing place for photographers. The
Maasai s till live within the conservation area,
and it’s also home to Olduvai where some of
man’s earliest remains have been found.
Tarangire National Park
Tarangire, like Lake Manyara, is often
combined with a visit to the larger, better
known Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks. But
during the dry season, (June to October) the
river beds just teem with animals and it is well
worth a trip.
Tarangire is a good place to enjoy a walking
safaris and an excellent place to view
elephants. Be prepared to swat tsetse flies
here, at certain times of the year they can get
annoying.
Lake Manyara
Lake Manyara is a relatively small national
park but it’s incredibly diverse. Lake Manyara
boasts plenty of elephants, tree-climbing lions
(getting rarer), leopards, giraffes and more than
400 species of birds including flocks of pink
flamingos.
Watching the Kilimanjaro
At 19,336 feet, snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro
in Tanzania is Africa’s highest peak. It is the
world’s tallest walkable mountain, and what a
walk it is. You go through 5 different climatic
zones to reach the summit. Follow our advice
and tips, and you should reach the “roof of
Africa” in good health.
