The Selous Game Reserve ( a part is now called Nyerere National Park),named after renowned British explorer, hunter, and conservationist Captain Frederic Courtney Selous, was formed in 1922 through the merger of four game reserves. It is a UNESCO World Heritage center.Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania is about 50, 000 square kilometers, four times larger than Serengeti, and it is home to about 350 species of birds and reptiles.At the Rufiji River’s bank, which runs through the game area, Tanzanian elephants congregate.
Visitors may see giraff,zebras, lions, spotted hyenas, leopards, rhinos, hippopotamuses, and many other animals.Take advantage of the boat safaris and keep a close eye out for hippos and crocodiles in the nearby lakes and channels of the game reserve.In Selous Game Reserve, you can adopt an animal symbolically through groups like the World Wildlife Fund (WWF),and other organizations which funds local conservation initiatives.For information on their projects in Selous and to locate their donation pages, visit the websites of organizations such as FZS,WWF.
