Hunting in Tanzania, about the Selous Reserve

The Selous Reserve is an enormous area of more than 5 million acres, plus it is surrounded by a further 2 million acres of “buffer zone”.  The reserve supports the largest populations of African game animals compared to anywhere else on the African continent. Within the reserve, human habitation is prohibited to protect wildlife and fragile biospheres.To protect the Selous’s pristine environment, the Tanzanian Game Department doesn’t make the hunting safaris ” at a discount”. Big game hunters pay “top Dollar for the privilege of hunting in the Selous.  The presence of hunters has a low negative impact on the environment and expensive Government fees provide a consequent high financial income,

The Game Department ensures the sustainability of the Selous’s game populations by limiting the number of animals hunted by means of a licensing system, along with strict quotas on all species. No permanent buildings are allowed in the Selous Reserve. At the end of the hunting season, every area must be vacated by outfitters / leaseholders and all traces of human habitation removed. Camps are staffed by a multitude of competent Tanzanians.
