Selous Safari Camp

Owned by the Selous Safari Company the camp is located in the North of the Selous Game Reserve which itself is located in Southern Tanzania. Recently renovated, to a very high standard, Selous Safari Camp continues to operate an authentic and elegant permanent tented camp tucked among the palm trees on the banks of the Rufiji River.

Selous Safari Camp – The Facts

Selous Safari Camp – The Detail

The camp is spacious and stylishly designed for an atmospheric stay, with a shady swimming pool to complete its appeal. A richly furnished dining room and bar are raised high on stilts substantial enough to withstand the onslaught of elephant perusals during candlelit suppers, and the billowing sleeping tents each have their own private veranda and are colourfully bright and airy.

The atmosphere at Selous Safari Camp is relaxed and yet wonderfully comfortable, with good attention to detail; the camp staff give guests a real sense of being looked after, and provide an inspired gourmet menu that belies the rural bush location, even on intrepid fly-camping expeditions.

Standards of guiding and wildlife expertise are hard to beat with many of the guides having spent all their years in the Selous Game Reserve. Taking the opportunity to fly-camp under the stars with the experts is extremely worthwhile.

Typical days involve a morning and an afternoon game activity; on foot, by boat, or from an open sided vehicle.

Selous Safari Camp – Our View

It is the Selous Game Reserves best luxury tented camp. Having been recently refurbished, and now offering a 9 tented standard camp or if you are looking for a bit more privacy there is a slightly more luxurious 4 tented private camp which is available for exclusive use. With its combination of great location, good food, relaxed atmosphere and excellent guiding, we think that it is well worth a visit at any time of year.
