The Selous is the largest national park in Africa. With about 21,000 square miles (55,000 sq. km), the reserve covers a huge portion of Southern Tanzania. The immense size of the park makes it ideal for the traveler seeking a sense of isolation, exploration, and discovery. Few other human visitors (if any) will be visible while on excursion. This enormous area of bush country, floodplains and miombo forest contains one of Africa's richest game concentrations. Elephant, buffalo, big cat, giraffe, zebra, antelope and little klipspringers are all well represented. Birdlife is also varied and quite abundant, with at least 350 species to be seen.
