Lukwika-Lumesule Game Reserve

Lukwika-Lumesule Game Reserve is the most southerly game reserve in Tanzania and one of the least visited wilderness areas in Africa. The Ruvuma River is the border between Lukwika-Lumesule and Mozambique. Many of the animals wade across, while hippos and crocodiles lounge in the river. Large concentrations of elephants migrate across the river to the southern edge of the Lukwika-Lumesule Game Reserve.

Other animals that have been spotted in the dense vegetation include lions, leopards, antelope, elands, greater kudus and plentiful bird species.

During the hunting season, July to December, Lukwika-Lumesule Game Reserve is closed to visitors.
