The Selous holds the title of the largest game reserve in the world. 

The Selous Game Reserve is one of the largest faunal reserves in the world and as human habitation or permanent structures are permitted, it is surely the wildest game reserve in Tanzania.

Some of the typical animals of the savanna-like elephants, hippos, African Wild dogs, Cape buffalo, and crocodiles can be found in this park in larger numbers than in any other African game reserve or national Park.
