SOC: Selous Game Reserve (Tanzania)
Selous Game Reserve (Tanzania) The Committee was glad to be informed that a proposal to open a route through this Park to drive cattle from the north to the south of the country had been abandoned by the Tanzanian Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development.
