If you are looking to reach Selous game reserve, there are 3 main ways through which you can get there. These are by road, rail, and air.

You have made the right choice if you are planning to travel to Selous game reserve. It is the largest conservation area in Africa being four times as large as the infamous Serengeti plains.

This is a rich ecosystem with plenty of big game animals to see. Due to its richness in habitat, it was declared a World Heritage site back in 1982.

One of the best ways to enjoy all that the Selous game reserve has to offer is to take a walking safari with a qualified guide. And animals are not the only thing you will see as the volcanic springs create a unique attraction as well. The river Ruaha and Rufiji cut across the game reserve creating many channels that are a magnet for birds and animals, especially during the dry season.

With over 350 species of birds in the reserve, this is a bird watcher paradise so make sure you have your camera all set when taking a game drive or a walking safari through the bush.

If you want to view the animals through the channels and waterways, you can take a boat safari. The dry season is one of the best times to take a boat safari as the animals come from far and wide to have a drink. You can spot the big predators of Africa as well as the herbivores.

Getting to Selous game reserve is best done by flight considering how remote the reserve is. An airstrip sees planes from various airports in Tanzania and you can get here from Dar es Salaam, Arusha, and even from Zanzibar.

Speaking of Zanzibar, one of the best airlines to fly you to the Selous game reserve is As Salaam Air. This is a charter flight operator in Zanzibar and was started back in 2011. Since then they have made a name for themselves as one of Zanzibar’s best air travel with excellent service and comfort.

While As Salaam Air doesn’t make flights to the Selous game reserve they do make trips to Dodoma and Dar es Salaam from where you can take a connecting flight to Selous.

The best way to reach the Selous from Zanzibar is to take a flight to the nearby Dar es Salaam where you can then take a connecting flight to Selous. Your tour operator will book a chartered flight for you and you can connect with Coastal air, Safari Air Link, Auric Air. As Salaam Air are available 24 hours a day so you can book your flight at your convenience.
