Selous Kulinda Camp is hidden among emerald trees on the riverine fringes of Tanzania’s great Rufiji River. This enchanting waterway is the defining feature of Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve) and the life-blood of substantial numbers of predators, the Big 5, Jurassic-sized crocodiles, over 60 000 elephants, and more than 430 recorded bird species. Although Nyerere is Africa’s largest game reserve (bigger than Switzerland), it remains relatively unknown to outsiders and is perhaps Tanzania’s best-kept secret.

Go on game drives, guided walks, and boat safaris to explore a phenomenally untamed and unbelievably beautiful environment – a photographer’s paradise and a treasure for any wildlife enthusiast. This authentic safari camp’s tranquil and secluded river setting ensures a sense of utmost relaxation throughout your stay, the ideal place to go off the grid completely.

This is one of the best-tented camps in the Selous for those wanting to stay longer and see more. The tents are strung out along the river so offer a quiet retreat during the heat of the day to relax and listen to Africa’s birdsong around you. The Selous, being so remote, often feels inaccessible but this camp - with its great staff, home-style cooking plus excellent pricing - allows you to get a taste of Africa at its uncrowded best. Worth at least five nights’ stay in my opinion!

Rooms

Ten very spacious tented chalets are raised on the water’s edge and well-spaced for utmost privacy. With panoramic views of the surrounding riverine landscape, your tented chalet offers a tranquil haven within one of the African wildest and most remote destinations.

Each tent is equipped with all the desired comforts like crisp white linen, power points, and mosquito nets. Bathrooms are en suite and each tented chalet features private verandas with views of the Rufiji River.

Facilities

The camp’s main area consists of a charming dining room and lounge that walks out onto an outside deck with a swimming pool and beautiful views over the river. Grab an ice-cold drink, head to the deck, and watch the sunset over the pristine African wilderness.

Delicious international and African cuisine is prepared to perfection and served in the dining area or al fresco on the deck.
