Tanzania has one of the largest elephant populations in the world, and most of them live in the Selous Game Reserve. (pronounced: sell-oo)  The Selous is the largest game reserve in Africa and the second largest on the planet!  Nyika Treks can take you to this pristine World Heritage Site, a great place for a safari because it is also home to most every kind of East African animal including wild dog,plenty of hippos along the meandering Rufiji river and black rhino.

If you go to the Selous you will experience wild Africa the way it is meant to be seen.  You will not see dozens of other safari vehicles because less than 3,000 tourists visit the reserve each season.   Your journey will take you to Steigler's Gorge - the turbulent confluence of the Ruaha and Rufiji rivers, Lake Tagalala - site of crystal clear waters and hot springs, and to panoramic views of African woodlands full of all kinds of animals.

Nyika can arrange for you to take a walking safari with an armed park ranger, an exciting way to explore the African bush.  You can also view game from the river, let us arrange a day of sailing or rafting on the Rufiji for your group.  If you are a fisherman, you may want to visit the Kilombero Game Controlled Area West of the Selous where you can test your skill on two famous East African fish, the tiger and the vundu.

Best Time to Visit:  The cool season:  End of June through end of October.

Don't Miss:  Walking safaris, Steigler's Gorge, Lake Tagalala and a dip in the hot springs at Kipalapala Hill.  Rafting the Rufiji, elephant watching and fishing in Kilombero.
