An abundance of wildlife
Selous is known for its abundance of wildlife, however, what you are
likely to see depends on what time of year you travel. June to September
is generally dry and warm – animals are drawn to dwindling water
supplies in the lakes around the river. With vegetation sparse, this is the
perfect season for walking and for larger concentrations of game.
October – March is hotter and greener. This is the season for bird and
plant lovers and is the main reproductive time of year, so a good time for
seeing young. With over 300 species of birds in Selous, it is not just the
mammals that attract visitors. There’s a chance of rain in November and
December, flowers are in abundance and the deciduous trees are starting
new growth.
