Lukula, Mbega, Sable Mountain and Sand River - Best Camps and Lodges in Selous

Selous Park is one of the largest game reserves in the world, and certainly one of the largest African Game reserve as well. It is not only the largest, but it is, by far the best game reserve in Africa for its huge outlay and miles of hunting to be done. Selous Game Reserve is also one of the largest fauna reserves in the world; it is located in the south of Tanzania, which is a Republic in the east Africa region bordered by Rwanda and Kenya as well as the Congo and Zambia. In 1982, it was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its great diversity in wildlife as well as perfectly undisturbed nature. The total reserve covers an area of around 54,600 km, which is about 21,081 square miles, and has a wide assortment of various animal life including elephants, hippopotami, African Wild Dog, and crocodiles can be found on the vast savanna in much larger numbers than any other documented African park.
In 1905, the Selous area became a hunting reserve, though now, it is a place of importance for Africa because of its touristic attraction, however, only a small portion of it is regularly tread by humans as the prominence of the deadly Tsetse fly makes it very difficult to travel and encourages avoidance throughout most of the roads through the roads. However, by way of train or small plane, it is possible to access the tourist attractions throughout the Selous game park. The park contains the river of Rufiji, a expansive tropical paradise river that flows into the Indian Ocean just in front of the Mafia Island as well as the Stigler, a deep canyon of around 100 meters deep and 100 meters wide where most of the tourist attractions may be found. Selous hunting and safari, unlike many other parks in Africa, is accessible on foot to the daring big game hunters that wish it, though it is often highly advised to travel with adequate insect repellent and proper restraints for any Tsetse fly that might strike, as they are fast and deadly poisonous.
There are many camps and lodges in the large expanse of the Selous game park. Those camps include Sand Rivers Lodge, an old time safari lodge in the bluffs of Selous; Lukula, a luxurious camp situated on the isolated Luwegu River within the Selous Game Park; the Selous Mbega camp, which is a rustic safari camp in the heart of Selous; the Jongomero Camp, a river side paradise camp; Lake Manze Camp, a brand new tented camp with great comfort; the Selous Impala camp, a remote setting in the thick of Selous; the Mikumi Lodge, yet another sanctuary for many diverse types of rare and unique animals offered by the park; and the Sable Mountain Lodge, a lodge where most travelers will see the most diverse array of interesting animals. Whether a traveler decided to go to the more Mikumi Lodge with all of its luxury or the Mbega camp, tourists are never disappointed with the wonder that Selous has to offer.
