Regular flights link the reserve with Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and Arusha. There are also connections to the other northern circuit airstrips.
Flights into the Selous are generally suspended during the wet season from March to May. A meet and greet service is offered from Stiegler's Airstrip, which is just a half-hour's game drive away from the camp.
By road there are two options: the first is from Dar es Salaam to Mkongo via Kibiti (250 km); the second is from Dar es Salaam to Kisaki via Morogoron (350km). Journey times vary but are approximately 9-10 hours. 4WD is required throughout the year but even so the camp is often inaccessible during the long rains.
The reserve can be reached by train from Tazara stopping at Kisaki, which is about 5-6 hours from Dar es Salaam.
