The Selous Game Reserve is Africa’s largest protected wildlife reserve and covers more than 5% of Tanzania’s total area. It’s rivers, hills, and  plains are home to roaming elephant populations, the area’s famous wild dogs, and some of the last black rhino left in the region.

The  Rufiji River Delta is a striking feature of the game reserve. It connects the Great Ruaha River with the Rufiji River and  not far from the park boundaries empties out into the Indian Ocean along the

Tanzanian Coast. The  Rufiji River

The Rufiji River is the largest water catchment locations in the region, and  as such, is home to a plethora of varied water and  bird life. Along its shores, oppulent hippos sleep languidly in the mud and sun themselves, mouths wide open, as the river passes by. Crocodiles are also  common along the Rufiji’s riverbanks, their armour plated skins the only  rough edges in the rivers incessant flow. Stiggler’s Gorge, where the Great Ruaha River meets the Rufiji River, is a breathtaking example of the diversity and  spectacular scenery along the game reserve’s waterways.
