	Selous Game Reserve
		The Selous is a gentle place, whose pace is slowed by the languid heat and humidity of the coastal region.
		Selous Game Reserve was first set aside as a wildlife reserve as early as 1905.
		The fact that Selous remains a game reserve rather than a national park is one of the main reasons that walking safari is still permitted.

		Selous was a British game hunter and naturalist who spent nearly 20 years in the area collecting specimens from lions and elephants to kudus and butterflies.
		The reserve owes its great size and protected status largely to the efforts of C.J.P. Ionides, a game ranger and herpetologist specializing in snakes, who went to work for the Game Department in 1933 and spent the next 20 years realizing his vision of the Selous as an undisturbed ecosystem.
		The Selous is not a national park, however, and licensed hunting is still allowed in the reserve, primarily south of the Rufiji River.

		Selous may not have been a very good shot, but he was a crack cricket and croquet player, passable at tennis, and an indefatigable bicyclist.
		Selous was shot in the head during this conflict, a few days after his sixty-fifth birthday.
		Selous wrote nine books, the most popular of which were A Hunter's Wanderings in Africa (1881), Sunshine and Storm in Rhodesia (1896), and African Nature Notes and Reminiscences (1908), as well as numerous articles on hunting and natural history.

		Two main vegetation types dominate the reserve: the sector north of the Ruaha-Rufiji rivers (17%) is mainly open wooded grassland underlain by poorly drained alkaline sandy clay dominated by the flat-topped tagalala Terminalia spinosa and dotted with doum palm Hyphaene thebaica, with swamps along the rivers covered by tracts of borassus palm woodland Borassus aethiopium.
		Loss of the use of the Reserve lands has trapped many in poverty, and the Game Scouts are much resented by the hunters who traditionally cropped the game which was central to their lives (Stephenson, 1990).
		Zones envisaged by Stephenson in 1990 and later adopted were: a Strict Nature Reserve in the Mbarika Moutains of the southwest, a Tourist area and a Rhino Sanctuary on the Rufiji river, safari hunting over the whole area south of the Rufiji and an approximately 15km wide buffer zone round most of the Reserve.

		The Selous, at 55000km², is the second biggest conservation area in Africa, and the largest game reserve on the continent, and a proclaimed world heritage site.
		While most guests visit the Selous on fly-in fully catered safaris, it is possible to drive in with your own vehicle — but be warned, the roads are appalling and self-catering visitors are not made particularly welcome by the operators of some of the upmarket lodges.
		While the bulk of the reserve is miombo (brachystegia) woodland, there are sections of magnificent grass plains, wetlands and swamps and areas of dense canopy forest.

	Selous Game Reserve
		Located in southern Tanzania, it is home to the largest populations of some of Africa's most sought after game including elephant, lion, wild dog, leopard, buffalo, hippo, crocodile and herds of plains game, yet it remains one of the least visited of the great game sanctuaries on the continent.
		Full day game drives inside the reserve in open sided 4x4 vehicles in the North-West sector of the reserve often do not pass a single other vehicle, since this is far away from the busier routes in the East.
		What makes Selous stand out from many of the other wonderful reserves and parks with which Africa is blessed is the opportunity to take boat safaris and walking safaris.

		Due to its remote location, and because it is most easily accessible only by small aircraft, the Selous Game Reserve has remained one of the untouched gems of Tanzania’s national parks and game reserves, and offers visitors a chance to see a wild and expansive Africa far from paved roads and curio shops.
		One of the more historic protected areas in Tanzania, the Selous Game Reserve was named after Frederick Courteney Selous, a British explorer and hunter in East Africa who wrote a book about the region and his travels, and was tragically killed in land now named after him during the First World War.
		The Selous is unique among Tanzania’s more renowned preserved areas because it is a game reserve, not a national park, and therefore a larger range of activities are permitted.

		This is a good reserve for the repeat visitor to Africa but not for a first trip to Africa, as other areas in East Africa have better game viewing.
		Selous Safari Camp - This was clearly the better of the two camps we stayed at.
		The games drives tended to start too late in the morning for my taste (9:00 a.m.), but this was supposed to be better for viewing the thirsty throngs of animals that come to the river to drink during the dry season.
