Answer:
Selous Game Reserve
Frederick Selous was a British game hunter in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was the inspiration for the character of Allan Quatermain in H. Rider Haggard's "King Solomon's Mines."
The Selous Game Reserve is one of Tanzania's best-kept secrets. The concentration of the deadly tsetse fly (which transmits sleeping sickness) keeps visitors away from the reserve, which is larger than any other reserve of its kind at more than 50,000 square kilometers (20,000 square miles). Savanna animals like the elephant, hippopotamus, buffalo, and crocodile are found in great number in the Reserve. The Rufiji River, the largest river in East Africa, contributes to the region's biodiversity. Unlike many other parks in Africa, safari by foot is allowed in the Selous Game Reserve.
