Sand Rivers Selous detail

Sand Rivers Selous is an intimate safari lodge in Tanzania's Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve), set on a rocky peninsula with views over the Rufiji River. The lodge offers a unique blend of classic safari elegance combined with the ruggedness of a genuine bush adventure, overlooking the river that is brimming with hippos and crocodiles.

Explore this reserve – a World Heritage Site – that is home to a wide variety of wild animals and birdlife and varied terrain.

Rooms

Riverside Room

Sand Rivers Selous has five standard, open-fronted cottages, built on stilts, with an authentic thatched roof. Each cottage features one side open to the river, giving clear views of the water and sandbanks from a lavishly net-covered bed.

Other room types:

Just near the main lodge set on the hillside, there are three beautifully built stone and thatch suites. Enjoy the stunning views from these open-front suites as you sit in your private lounge area. Wake up each morning in a large king-sized bed after a relaxing night in your plunge pool set with views over the river.

For the more adventurous, don't miss out on the chance to go fly-camping in the bush. These camps are simple but do have ice-cold drinks, delicious food, comfortable bedrolls, toilets, and bucket showers.

Facilities

Enjoy a walking safari – a 4-day wilderness walk in the remote parts of the Nyerere National Park and the Tagalala Hot Springs.

Overnight fly-camping is another favorite at Sand Rivers Selous, where you have the chance to experience a night in the open, under the gorgeous African night sky.

Each guest group also has exclusive access to their vehicle and a dedicated guide.

Dining

The main dining table is made from an enormous tree and is the meeting point for lunches and dinners.

Breakfasts at Sand Rivers Selous can be enjoyed with other guests in the lodge, or as a picnic under the shade of a tree.
