I took a brief visit to the Selous this past weekend, and did a stop by Selous' grave. To say it is simple would be an understatement, but perhaps the best monument to him is that I saw a couple promising bulls not far from his grave. Glad to see there are some survivors from the most recent poaching carnage.

















The Selous is a special place.

Good stuff! Thanks for posting.

I am sure Mr.Frederick Selous would be tickled pink, if someone harvested a good tusker within a few feet of his gravesite.

Once a hunter, always a hunter.

Tanzania bulls are awesome. With their long thin tusks, a 40 pounder looks like a monster!

Thanks for posting. Just lovely.

Thank you for sharing something I have dreamed of.

Selous was not knighted. I like to think the simple stone monument in a Wilderness named after him for his sacrifice would make him proud.

Awesome about the elephant bulls!

Awesome. Hunted nearby years ago and wanted to visit the gravesite and Maji Moto, but never found the time. Couple of interesting bulls.

Appreciate your making this post.

Glad to see the genetics are still intact.

Very cool!
