Selous Game Reserve

Location: In south-eastern Tanzania
Selous Game Reserve in the  Great Selous Region, Tanzania
Selous is one of the most remote and least visited parks in Africa. , is the second biggest conservation area in Africa, and the largest game reserve on the continent .  Once home to the biggest concentration of elephant on the continent (over 110,000), the ‘Ivory Wars’ of the late 70s and early 80s had a devastating effect on the herds, reducing numbers to an estimated 30,000 to 50,000 today.
The black rhino population was similarly laid waste, and today there are perhaps 150 to 200 left out of a population of 3 000 in the early 70s. It would be easy to reduce the Selous to just a set of numbers – 120 000 buffalo, 150 000 wildebeest, 5 000 zebra, an estimated half the African population of wild dog total  some 4 000, 350 bird species, 50 000 impala, and a mere 2 000 visitors a year
