The Selous contains a wealth of animals but monitoring the populations is difficult because motorable tracks are few and aerial surveys are expensive. The author gained access to the heart of the reserve along its rivers and during a 12-day raft journey he recorded the large animals he saw. He was impressed by the pristine condition of the riverside habitat and he found no evidence of poaching there.
