There is no other region in which visitors can experience the pristine splendour and beauty - as well as the sense of adventure in Africa - that those like Selous enjoyed.

Frederick Courteney Selous died in battle in 1917, while leading an advance on a German encampment. His grave is on the north of the river near the Selous Safari Camp.

The Selous Game Reserve has been declared a World Heritage Site, one of three in Tanzania.
