Attractions

[edit]

Elephant herds traveling from the Selous Game Reserve in Northern Ruvuma Region to the Niassa ReserveinMozambique use the large Ruvuma River as a route through the Liparamba Game Reserve.[4] The main attraction of the region is seeing the large elephant herds, and the Ruvuma riverbanks offer prime viewing of this wildlife display.[5] The Ruvuma River is encircled by primarily swampy landscapes, riparian forests, and Miombo woodlands, which serve as an ideal natural home for hippo, basks of crocodiles, zebra, lions, leopards, wild cats, colobus monkeys and African otters.[6][7]
