Selous Game Reserve Accommodation

Selous Game Reserve, the largest game reserve in Africa. It was founded in Tanzania some time before 1914, and refounded in 1951. It covers about 45,000 sq km (17,400 sq mi). Selous Game Reserve lies along the River Rufiji and its tributary, the Luwegu, and is located 200 km (125 mi) southwest of Dar es Salaam. The reserve contains open grasslands alternating with dense forests of hardwood trees.

 It contains more than a million large animals, of which 50,000 are elephants. Owing to the activities of poachers, the elephant total has decreased since 1976, when a government survey put it at 110,000. Other large animals include hippopotamuses, rhinoceroses, buffaloes, and giraffes. There are colonies of baboons and monkeys.
