SELOUS SAFARI CAMP
The Selous Safari Camp, on the banks of Lake
Nzerakera, is designed to blend in with the spectacular natural scenery in what
is one of the most photogenic areas of the Selous Game Reserve. Each of the nine
safari tents sits atop 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.
Much as guests are encouraged to become as one with
the bush surroundings, full consideration has been given to comfort within the
camp itself.
The spacious tents are luxuriously appointed, with
en suite bathrooms and open air hot-water showers. The camp has its own
swimming pool, enabling guests to cool off in the heat of the day.
Our chefs prepare the finest cuisine from a
well-supplied kitchen. Meals are complemented by a good selection of wines and
there is a well-stocked bar.
While our guests find that game viewing and
communing with nature can readily be achieved without moving from the camp
itself, we offer full opportunities to get out into the bush to explore more of
the Selous Game Reserve, its intriguing topography, its fascinating flora and
its teeming wildlife.
Open four-wheeled drive vehicles, specially adapted
for close-up game viewing, make for exhilarating early morning and evening
forays into the surrounding bush. Expert are guides on hand to explain
everything from unusual animal behaviour to rare and elusive species of birds
and even the life cycle of termites.
On
the Rufiji River and its many tributaries, channels and lagoons, the camp
offers game viewing by boat, an opportunity for guests to obtain close-up
photographs and views of the many hippo wallowing in the water and the large
crocodiles lurking on the banks. The wealth of the Selous reserve's vivid bird
life is best seen from the boat.
