Siwandu

Selous Game Reserve


This upmarket camp is set on a side arm of the Rufiji in a lush, beautiful setting overlooking Lake Nzelekela. It's divided into separate camps, each with a half dozen spacious tents, giving a more intimate, exclusive feel. There's a raised dining and lounge area on one side, excellent cuisine and impeccable service throughout. No children under six years of age.

If you can afford the price tag, it's a fine base for a Selous safari.
