The Park is about 490 km. south-west of Dar es salaam and it takes about 45 minutes to fly to the reserve from Dar es Salaam or 4 hours by TAZARA. It contains some of Africa’s largest and most important populations of elephants, buffaloes and hunting dogs. Other large mammals that are found there include Roosevelt’s sable (rarely seen), rhinos, hippos, giraffes, elands, sable antelopes, white-faced wildebeest, waterbucks, warthogs, leopards and lions (which are darker in colour than their cousins in the northern circuits). The Selous male lions also have short, almost punk-like manes, very different from other lions in Africa.

It will also be possible to do a river boat tour on the river that runs through the national park.
