Selous River Camp

Perfect location. At night you can hear the Hippo's and during the day time, Elephants are walking around. The location is very nice and it is great to see the sunsets every night. It is camping in a tent so you must like to do this.

I am not a camping guy, so I had to get used to it.

A unique place with an amazing view from the bar/swimming pool onto the Rufiji river. We stayed in the tents which were really nice and from which we could hear all sorts of animals during the night... We also saw monkeys in the trees in front of our tents and an Elephant passing close by ... but it is all safe with Massai guarding the place day and night. The staff is superb and they advice and take care of everything in a discrete way. The meals are all very tasty and change every day. We did the slow Selous, the walking safari and the visit to Mloka, which were all very nice and well organized. If you the adventurous type, I highly recommend coming with the public bus from Dar to Mloka! A truly unique experience, traveling like the locals do!

Some of their facilities (toilets and showers) could do with a small refurbishment but looking at the fact that the place was damaged by the floods a few months ago, it is understandable that the priority was to rebuild the lost mud huts and the swimming pool!

Marvelous view on the river with gorgeous sunset experience. We (family of 6) did a self drive tour Arusha-Moshi-Lushoto-Dar-Neyere park. The Neyerere Park is the largest park in Tanzania and much less touristy than the northern parks like Serengeti. The selous river camp is located just outside the park and offers an excellent starting position for game drives. You can stay in safari tents or cabins. We stayed for 3 days in the camp and we did 2 game drives where we were guided by a trainee guide from the park entrance. The other day we did a boat trip on the river and enjoyed some relaxing in the river camp. In the Neyere park we saw many animals, giraffes, wildebeast, Elefant, buffalo, hippos, crocodiles, pelicans, baboons and many more. There are lions and leopards too, but unfortunately we did not see them. Although the Selous camp is outside the park, it does not feel like it. Hippos can be seen in the river and there is a group of elephants which regularly passes the camp. We had a close encounter with the male elephant of the group, so impressive. The staff of the Selous river camp is very friendly and supportive. The food they serve is delicious and we got nice lunch packages for our game drives. Definitely a place to visit again.

Spacious property with Swimming pool.

Too many lizards. But there is nothing one can do about this.

Staffs, food was really amazing. They know how to serve the customer.all staffs were really kind. Nyerere National Park safari program was really spectacular. We did sunset boat safari which is recommendable for those who love birds and hippo.

Since the property closed during covid time, the facility still not 100 percentage of the condition as it was before closing. Some facilities are needed to he repaired.
