Selous Game Reserve

Four times the size of the Serengeti, the Selous is the largest reserve in Tanzania. A vast network of rivers, lakes, woodland and savannah, it protects some 4000 wild dogs (half Africa’s population) and large numbers of elephant, hippo, giraffe, zebra, antelope, buffalo, and lion. The terrain is particularly suited to leopards which exist in greater numbers than lions, although seen less often.  As well as big game, the Selous has many smaller animals and over 350 species of birds.  The reserve is explored in small boats, open-sided jeeps and on walking safaris for a complete wildlife experience.

Rufiji River Camp

Quite a simple camp situated on the banks of the Rufiji River with large, palm-shaded tents with private facilities, mosquito nets and stunning views over the river which attracts many hippos and other wildlife.

Selous Riverside Safari Camp

Also located by the Rufiji River, this new luxury tented camp offers very spacious safari tents built on high wooden decking with magnificent views of the river and of the forest beyond. Each is beautifully furnished with en-suite bathroom. Facilities at the camp include swimming pool, lounge area, bar and dining room.

Sand Rivers Lodge

The most luxurious option for Selous, the lodge stands on a rocky outcrop in the isolated northern sector with spectacular views over the magnificent Rufiji River. It was built with flair and imagination entirely from local materials, and benefits from having a swimming pool.
