 Selous Game Reserve is situated in the southern part of Tanzania and named after Frederick Courtney Selous, a famous hunter and naturalist who was killed and burried there in the First World War. It is uninhabited and divided into some 46 hunting blocks, varying in size from 300 to 500 square miles. The size of each block has been determined from its topographical situation and game concentration.
The vegetation is mainly 'miombo' bush with dense thickets in some areas. Some of the largest rivers in Tanzania flow through the Selous. Game that can be taken in the Reserve includes elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, wildebeest, hartebeest, impala, warthog, eland, sable and greater kudu.
Luke Samaras Safaris has a long-standing reputation in the Tanzania safari industry. In these Selous blocks, Elephant, Lion, Leopard, Buffalo and unique Selous plainsgame species are available. Hunts in Selous can be combined with a hunt in the Masailand to take the unique Masailand plainsgame species like Gerenuk, Fringe eared Oryx, Lesser Kudu, Grant's Gazelle, Thompson's Gazelle etc.
These Selous blocks specifically produce excellent success on Leopard, Lion, Buffalo and Elephant. The quality of the Buffalo in these blocks is far superior to your "Average Selous Buffalo".
Luke Samaras, born and raised in Tanzania, has over 30 years of hunting experience and a unique knowledge of this vast land.
Luke Samaras Safaris offers you a hunt in the classic East African tradition. The picturesque camps are very comfortable and equipped with a spacious mess tent, sleeping tents with toilets and hot showers. |
