Overview

The Selous Game Reserve, covering 54,600 square kilometers, is the largest protected game reserve in Africa, featuring diverse landscapes like forests, plains, mountains, and woodlands. Named after explorer Frederick Selous Courtney, the reserve is twice the size of the Serengeti and three times that of Kruger National Park. Established in 1922 and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982, it is renowned for its rich wildlife.

In 2019, TANAPA rebranded the northern sector as Nyerere National Park to honor Tanzania’s first president, Julius Nyerere. The new park includes the northern photographic sector and extends to the Rufiji River wilderness.
