Tour Features
The Selous is a great bird watching location all year round. Given that migratory birds from northern Africa as well as Europe are present beginning in the month of April, it’s the finest time to view birds. The resident bird species start Nesting nearly at the same time so it is not that hard to see birds during the breeding plumage. As the wet season comes to an end, most of the camps close (that is in the month of April), and then re-open yet again in June. to enjoy the best wildlife views we advice travelers to visit from the month of June to October. Among the most frequently seen bird species in the Selous Game Reserve are: the mosque swallow, the brown-breasted barbet, purple-banded sunbird, Mangrove kingfishers, Von der Decken’s hornbill, African skimmers, a pearl-spotted owl, palm-nut vulture, Layard’s black-headed weavers, freckled nightjars, grey Penduline-tit, grey-hooded kingfisher, red-throated twin spot, waders, wattle-eyed flycatchers, broad-billed roller, spotted-flanked barbet, green-billed coucal, Arnot’s chat, long-tailed fiscal, Sterling’s barred warbler, Livingstone’s flycatcher, white helmet-shrikes, red-winged warbler, Boehm’s bee-eater,
