Where in Africa shall we go?

A Riverside Retreat Offering Unmatched Elegance and Wildlife Encounters
Nestled on a secluded peninsula overlooking the tranquil waters of Lake Nzerakera, Roho ya Selous provides an intimate escape within the heart of Nyerere National Park's prime game-viewing territory. This luxurious camp blends modern comfort with the raw beauty of Tanzania's largest protected wilderness.

Accommodations at Roho ya Selous consist of eight stretch canvas tents, including one for families. Each tent is positioned to offer sweeping 180-degree views of waterways teeming with hippos and crocodiles. Interiors feature en-suite bathrooms with indoor and outdoor hot-water showers, allowing guests to refresh in privacy while staying connected to nature. To combat the midday heat, an innovative 'evening breeze' cooling system is installed over each bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep.

The camp's central hub comprises open-sided dining and lounge areas, constructed with canvas roofs and cooled by slate flooring. Guests enjoy gourmet meals prepared with locally sourced ingredients while taking in uninterrupted lake views. Afternoons invite relaxation by the pool, offering a refreshing respite after the day’s adventures. As the sun sets, the campfire becomes a gathering point for sundowners, where stories of the day are shared under the African dusk.

Roho ya Selous offers a diverse array of activities designed to immerse guests in the surrounding ecosystem. Expert guides lead daily game drives across varied landscapes, revealing abundant wildlife, including elephants, lions, giraffes, and the elusive wild dog. For a unique perspective, boating safaris along the Rufiji River’s palm-lined channels offer close encounters with aquatic species and birdlife.
