Conservation areas and reserves

Additional to the National Parks, Tanzania has a great number of conservation areas which sometimes have an even bigger variety of wildlife than the parks. However, most of the conservation areas are divided in hunting blocks and therefore they are not suitable for photo safaris.

One of the biggest conservation area is the Selous which has a photographic block and a lot of wildlife. It's famous for its vast numbers of elephants, hippos, crocodiles and lions.
