Selous National Park Holidays

There are several ways to explore the park, and holidays to Selous are popular due to the choice of wildlife viewing activities. It’s possible to explore the reserve on foot, in a traditional safari vehicle or even by boat, as the reserve is segmented by Tanzania’s largest river, the Rufiji. On a walking safari you’re more likely to come into contact with large animals such as elephant, buffalo and even lion – at a safe distance! Discover the park by boat and your guide will navigate the lakes and channels of the river, able to approach animals such as crocodile and hippo unobtrusively. Game drives are the most comfortable way to explore, and often afford sightings of large groups of big animals around the park’s five lakes.

Within the park there are only a handful of camps, and due to its size the safari trails never feel crowded. Lodges are in the traditional safari style: low-key, unfussy establishments with a focus on conservation. The park is easily reached by light aircraft from Dar es Salaam.
