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.
