We went on a 2 day trip from Zanzibar.
Amazing experience. To see the animals in their own surondings were great. We were lucky to see a lot of animals, even the lepard

We were able to see all of the wildlife we had hoped to see. A beautiful park.

The large area of this park means that the wildlife can be a bit more spread-out and the animals can be a bit more timid of vehicles. But in my opinion that is a good thing and exactly as it should be. Another plus is that the scenery is amazing and appears largely unspoiled. You could easily lose yourself if you were not with a guide. We really liked Nyerere (Selous).

We did not spot the big 5, but Al lot of great animals. When one of the guides spotted lions, it suddenly gets very crowded. The rest of the day you will hardly see any other drivers. We had a beautiful boat safari and two fantastic full game drive days. The bush walk was okay, but not great.

Selous had more animals than Mikumi National Park , and we saw the African wild dogs there.

Fantastic Reserve: Full of Animals, Not Full of People
Overall rating
5/5

Selous Game Reserve is a real jewel, full of wildlife and birds and intriguing flora with the added bonus of very few visitors. I stayed at Asilia Africa's Roho Ya Selous and it could not have been better. As a solo traveler, I look for places which allow me to be on my own (for meals or individual safari vehicles) and Roho was very accommodating. I could do as I pleased.

Selous' geography, with its river, plains, and abundant flora was a completely different experience than the Serengeti. I saw many hippos, giraffes, lions, and baboons there, along with the always-charming impalas. You will see almost all the great predators (if luck is on your side!).

The Northern Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater are fantastic to see; but if you are looking for a safari that does not resemble a drive-through 'zoo', with countless other vehicles surrounding a beautiful animal, Selous is worth visiting.
