Stay at Sand Rivers Selous

Sand Rivers Selous has just eight stone and thatched cottages, all are open-fronted and raised on decks overlooking the Rufii River. There are five Riverside rooms with en-suite bathrooms, hot and cold running water, flush toilets and powerful showers. There are also three Hillside Suites which have large living spaces and a small private plunge pool, perfect for time out after a day on safari.

The eight open-fronted rooms are designed for maximum comfort with wonderful beds, plenty of space and probably the best showers you’ll have come across for a while. Each room has panoramic views out over the river where the only sounds you will hear are those of the local Tanzanian wildlife.

The main living area is spacious, open-fronted and cool. There is a chill-out area near the library, as well as places to relax around the main pool, privately tucked away in a quiet corner or on the social managers table.There is also a bar where the drinks are cold and there will always be good stories to tell or be told.

This camp is much suited to the adventurous and active, those who like to be kept busy whilst on safari. Perfect for families, couples and honeymoons.

Fishing

Bush Walk

Stay hidden and observe nature without interrupting as you venture through the bush with your guide, exploring locations only accessible by foot.

Boat Trips

Float quietly along the River Rufiji for the chance to spot storks, baboons, and maybe even a plover cleaning a crocodile's teeth.

Hot Springs

Take a walk to an isolated area of the Selous Reserve for a dip in the Tagalala Hot Springs, filled with bubbling hot water all year round.
