The reserve is crossed by the second biggest river in Tanzania, the Rufiji River, creating a very dynamic ecosystem. Selous is home to over 350 species of birds and reptiles, and about 2,000 plant species. You will also find a wide range of wildlife, including African elephant, hippopotamus, lion, Cape buffalo, Masai giraffe, zebra, crocodile, and everything in between. The vehicle is an open four-wheel-drive safari Jeep, perfectly suited for taking unobstructed pictures. The vehicles are low emission (thus less noise), to take you up-close to the wildlife. At the end of the day, you will check-in at Africa Safari Selous for a good dinner and overnight sleep.
