Selous Safari Camp
The sheer diversity of the landscape - from hot volcanic springs, placid lagoons and the many channels from the Great Ruaha and Rufiji Rivers which bisect the reserve - makes the Selous a unique area in which to observe the full panoply of African wildlife. Most of Africa’s mammal species, from the largest to the smallest to the rarest, thrive here. In addition there are some 440 species of birds and more than 2,000 recorded varieties of plants (with many more still to be discovered.) Southern Tanzania is redolent with the romantic history of a bygone age. Pioneers, missionaries, hunters and adventurers littered the landscape with legends. To those who know and love the African bush, the Selous is one of Africa’s best kept secrets.
This camp is situated in one of the most photogenic areas of the Selous Game Reserve - the largest protected wilderness reserve in Africa, three times larger than the Serengeti.
All camps are build with local materials all environmentally friendly. All waste comes back to town where we deal with it. Separately. Next to generators we have also solar power.

Each of the safari tents is on its own raised timber platform, affording guests an unmatched experience of the African bush.

The camp has the prime position at the centre of the unique riverine and lake complex, with the highest concentration of African wildlife and myriad birdlife. There are no fences and no artificial modifications to the natural fauna and so animals wander freely through the camp. 9 tents at main camp and 4 tents at private camp.
