Time to get out of the office again but this time to Southern Tanzania and the Selous Game Reserve. Simon and I flew down to Dar es Salaam from Nairobi, a short charter and we arrived in this wild, beautiful and enormous Reserve.The Selous is vast, at 50,000 square kilometers (19,000 square miles) it is the second largest park in the world after Yellow Stone Park or about the same size as West Virginia! We are based out of Sand Rivers Lodge on the bank of the Rufiji river from where we have ventured out exploring the immediate area.
We love walking and have taken the opportunity to do some great hikes which have been welcome after sitting in the office and airplanes. Just north of the lodge there are several lakes which are filled with birdlife, crocs and hippo. This early morning shot was looking over L. Macoubi after a night of rain.
