Only in the Serengeti will visitors see a greater concentration of wildlife.

Species commonly seen are bushbuck, red and blue duikers,eland, hartebeest, hyena, klipspringer, impala, giraffe, Oryx, reedbuck, waterbuck and zebra. Yellow baboon and vervet and blue monkey are always a common sight while families of black and white colobus may sometimes be seen moving from tree to tree. The bird-life in the Selous is prolific and the 400 species recorded include the globally threatened wattle crane and the corncrake. The topography of the park varies from rolling savannah woodland, Grassland plains and rocky outcrops cut by the Rufiji River and its tributaries, the Kilombero and Luwegu, which together cover the greatest catchment area in East Africa. The Rufiji, which flows from north to south, provides the lifeblood of the Selous and sailing or rafting down the river is a superb method of seeing game, especially during the dry season between June and October.
