Selous's vastness is not open to safari visitors except the northern area (north of the Rufiji). Nevertheless, the park is incredibly diverse in vegetation and topography. We passed through most open regions since we arrived from the north and stayed at the east gate, but could have spent more time to digest the scenary allow for Wildlife to reveal itself.

We stayed at Mbega camp outside the park as the camps inside the park were not situated in areas we liked (Mbega is on the Rufiji). In addition, the cost of camping there was half as much camping in the park.

We saw no predators in Selous although the park should have them all.
