Spanning over 50,000 square kilometers in southern Tanzania, Selous offers an authentic and uncrowded safari experience. At Dubu Adventures, we invite you to explore this remarkable reserve and immerse yourself in the raw beauty of the African bush.

The reserve is also one of the last strongholds for African wild dogs. Other animals you may encounter include leopards, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and numerous antelope species.
Rufiji River: The lifeblood of the reserve, the Rufiji River, is a major highlight. Its network of lakes, channels, and swamps supports a rich array of wildlife and provides unique safari experiences.
