Embark on an unforgettable adventure in Africa’s largest national park, Nyerere National Park, which is part of the iconic Selous Game Reserve, all from the comfort of this award-winning safari camp.

Nestled on the serene banks of the mighty Rufiji River, just on the edge of Nyerere National Park, Selous River Camp offers an authentic experience that blends breathtaking views with exceptional value.

We offer a range of accommodation options to suit various traveler budgets, with some situated along the river for breathtaking views, and others tucked away in the peaceful shade of the surrounding forest.

Our dining and bar area feature panoramic river views, making it the perfect place to enjoy sundowners. Cool off in our "pool with a view," ideal for observing the seasonal hippo pods below, or look up to spot the playful black-and-white colobus monkeys in the trees above. In the evenings, gather around the iconic safari campfire, where guests can share their safari stories, and listen to the sounds of the night, before tucking into a tasty dinner.
