ACCOMMODATIONS IN SELOUS GAME RESERVE.

SABLE MONTAIN LODGE.

Located just outside the Matambwe park headquarters on the western boundary of the reserve. The camp is spread out over a hillside with outstanding views of the Uluguru Mountains. The closest camp to the TAZARA railway makes this the best option if travelling to Selous by train.

THE ACCOMMODATION

The original camp consisted of 8 spacious stone cottages fully en suite and all with great views from verandahs to the Uluguru Mountains.

Then 2 tented bandas elevated on stilts also overlooking the Ulugurus were added slightly apart from the cottages. These are also spacious with huge bathrooms and verandahs.

Finally 2 luxury honeymoon tented bandas also raised on stilts were built on the other side of the main hill overlooking a valley and the Beho Beho Hills. With outdoor shower and private plunge pool they represent arguably the best value accommodation in Selous.

THE FACILITIES

There are two main restaurant and bar areas, one lower down the hill near the stone cottages and one at the top of the hill next to the swimming pool.

A tree house overlooks a small waterhole on the west side of the park.

THE SAFARIS

The camp is located just outside the reserve so it is best to decide on and book the safari options at the camp. Early morning and afternoon half day game drives., a full day excursion including a boat safari at Lake Tagalala., walking safaris.

THE VERDICT

Good value for money and very hospitable staff make this a very personalised stay. Unpretentious and the only lodge in Selous that directly benefits the local communities surrounding the reserve through your visit, $5p.p./night goes directly to the community.

The fun train journey from Dar passes through Selous making Sable a good accommodation choice in it's own right or as a combination stay with other more expensive lodges inside the reserve.

SELOUS IMPALA CAMP

The camp is set in a great location amidst Borassus aethiopum palms and Tamarind trees overlooking the Rufiji river. Inside the reserve.

THE ACCOMMODATION

Just 6 luxury tents raised on platforms with private balcony overlooking the Rufiji River. All tents are fully en suite and furnished in period style.

Nearby there is a sheltered, good sized swimming pool.

THE SAFARIS

THE VERDICT

Superb location, tents are slightly on the small side but have great views of wildlife from the verandah.

SELOUS MBEGA CAMP

The camp is situated in its own forest reserve on the banks of the Rufiji River, just outside the eastern Mtemere gate of Selous Game Reserve.

THE ACCOMMODATION

There are eleven tents mostly built on wooden platforms, mosquito & insect proof, with en- suite bathrooms, and a verandah. Nine of the tents overlook the Rufiji River. One looks at a dried out waterhole at the rear of the camp.

THE FACILITIES

A viewing tower overlooks a seasonal waterhole.

THE SAFARIS

Game viewing in 4wd vehicles, walking safaris and a boat safari on the Rufiji River. Cultural trips to the local villages surrounding the Selous Game Reserve can also be arranged.

THE VERDICT

This represents the cheapest tented camp/lodge option for visiting Selous and is basic but good value. The camp doesn't pretend to be anything that its not and if you are willing to forego some comforts to be able to visit Selous then this is the best base to do it from cheaply.

RUFIJI RIVER CAMP

THE FACILITIES

A recent development is the shaded swimming pool, and there is a central library and mess area

THE SAFARIS

Early morning and late afternoon game drives, walking safaris and a boat safari on the Rufiji River.

THE VERDICT

A functional camp with a fantastic location and always the chance to spot hippo from your tent. Good value in the medium budget range but none of the fancy extras which can pump up the costs in some camps.

SELOUS BIG 5 LODGE

HIGH BUDGERT ACCOMMODATIONS

Beho Beho Camp

Located in the western region of Selous on the plains looking out towards Lake Tagalala, this is one of the few camps NOT situated on the Rufiji river. However the panoramic views and procession of wildlife do not make this a problem.

THE ACCOMMODATION

Recently renovated after years of neglect the 8 stone cottages are very spacious and well furnished to the point of excess. The cottages are open faced and have their own telescopes for game viewing from comfortable chairs inside the cottage.

The open air showers are superbly constructed from local stone and wood and the general feel which makes Beho Beho different from other camps is this is more like a small cottage than a room to sleep in.

THE FACILITIES

The huge central dining area and bar is furnished along the lines of an old hunting lodge complete with a full sized billiards table, deep leather chairs and Persian rugs. Meals can be taken from the main table, one of the several lookout posts in the main building or under the stars.

A small swimming pool is located near the central building and a waterhole attracts animals throughout the day.

THE SAFARIS

Game drives, expertly guided walking safaris and boat safaris on Lake Tagalala. The walking safaris particularly in this region are to be recommended.

THE VERDICT

The camp has been very well renovated and is in a scenic location. The somewhat over the top extravagance is reminiscent of a traditional colonial hunting lodge. Management and guiding staff has a very strong Zimbabwean and South African influence.

SELOUS SAFARI CAMP

A luxury tented camp located on the banks of the Rufiji River. The camp has recently been redesigned and is now separated into two discreet areas, each with its own sitting and dining area, and its own swimming pool.

One of the two areas is available for small groups on an exclusively private basis.

THE SAFARIS

- Game drives in open 4-wheel drive vehicles
