Welcome to the heart of African wildlife, nature, and culture. Africa Safari Selous is more than just a place to stay; it is an immersive journey. Located just outside the gates of the Selous Game Reserve (Nyerere National Park), our property offers a spacious, eco-friendly retreat where the original wilderness has been carefully preserved.
From our restaurant, you can overlook the local waterhole, which often provides unexpected and breathtaking views of thirsty wildlife passing by.
We offer a diverse range of lodging options designed to suit every traveler’s needs:
Traditional ‘Mud Bandas’: Our most striking feature! These 24 unique bungalows are modeled after the Maasai Boma. They offer a perfect blend of local culture and modern comfort an experience you won’t find anywhere else in the Selous.
Pool Bungalows: Spaciously laid out around our sparkling swimming pool, these air-conditioned rooms are perfect for families and small groups. They feature unique, naturally aerated bathrooms lined with eco-friendly bamboo.
Safari Tents & Safari Comfort: For those seeking a classic “under canvas” feel without sacrificing luxury.
After a day of exploring the Nyerere National Park, our centrally located campfire becomes the social hub of the lodge. It is the perfect place to:
Socialize with fellow travelers under the stars.
Share stories of your daily wildlife sightings.
Enjoy the sounds of the African night in a sustainable, respectful environment.
At Africa Safari Selous, we reflect our respect for the environment in every room we construct, ensuring your travel adventure is as green as it is unforgettable.
