Safari Camp will meet you at the airstrip for your game-drive to
camp. 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.

platforms with en-suite hand basin, w.c and open air shower. Accommodation
is on a full board basis including two scheduled activities per

The
Selous Game Reserve stretches across south east Tanzania. The largest
game reserve in Africa, it covers an area of 45,000 square kilometers
of true wilderness. The mighty Rufiji River cuts through the reserve
in its journey to the Indian Ocean and feeds a myriad of lakes and
waterways that provide habitat for a rich and diverse array of animals,
birds, plants and fish. The reserve
is home to over 50 species of large mammals incluing, lion, leopard,
buffalo, rhino and elephant. There are 450 species of bird and over
2,000 plants. It contains the world's largest population of elephant,
buffalo, hippo and crocodile along with one of the last remaining
populations of African Wild Dog. The ecosystems of the reserve are
so diverse that the Selous was designated a World Heritage Site
in 1982.
