A Selous River Camp safari is different: intimate, unhurried and wild
The Nyerere National Park, part of the legendary Selous Game Reserve, is an elemental, one-of-a-kind place – vast African wilderness where, at times, you can truly feel like the only people in the world. A safari with Selous River Camp exploring this unique place, is a departure from the ordinary: a leisurely and authentic experience which is a world away from the conventional crowded cookie-cutter safari tours found elsewhere.
Our safaris are organised differently to many other camps. We plan everything with you in mind and don't want you to miss out on the magical time when the wildlife is most active, the temperature is mild, and the light is beautiful. During the hottest part of the day, when the wildlife is most scarce, you can indulge in a bush lunch and laze in the shade of a large tree, taking the time to absorb the dramatic landscape as life unfolds. Soaking up the unique atmosphere, symphony of sounds and earthy smells of the wilderness is as much a part of this experience as exploring its winding tracks on the hunt for wildlife … and that takes time.
This is safari done the way it should be: intimate, unhurried and wild.
