Selous is a village in Mashonaland West province, Zimbabwe. It lies not far from Harare on the main Harare to Bulawayo road and is named after the British explorer and hunter Frederick Selous. In 1985 the novelist Tom Robbins wrote a column for Esquire describing his tumultuous travels to reach the village, entitled The Day The Earth Spit Warthogs. The village is therefore known for its namesake, an explorer connected with the early colonial period, and for that humorous piece of travel writing.
