Camp Details
The Selous is Africa’s oldest and biggest Game Reserve, and one of its last great wilderness areas. This UNESCO World Heritage Site has long been renowned for having more wild dog, elephant, lion, hippo and buffalo than any other game reserve in the World.
At Azura, we consider ourselves incredibly privileged to be located in a remote part of the Selous, where our very presence is helping to protect and preserve that endangered wildlife for future generations. We look forward to sharing it with you.
Azura has just 12 spacious designer ‘tented villas’ along the banks of the Ruaha river, with private plunge pools, butler-hosts to look after your every need and fabulous dining in varied locations. It’s quite simply the most luxurious, comfortable safari accommodation in Southern Tanzania, and the perfect place to relax. Our highly trained guides will make your safari at Azura truly special, personalising a safari itinerary for you that includes extensive game viewing drives in open sided Landrovers, both on and off road, walking adventures, boating, fishing and star gazing.
The focal point of the camp consists of a formal dining area, the iconic main infinity pool and surrounding relaxation deck, and lounge, all built at alternating levels benefitting from the welcome breezes. Shaded by trees the main areas all have a panoramic view over the river and the African wilderness beyond. The designer ‘boutique-chic’ décor used incorporates famous designers like Ardmore and brings the outside inside. Our villas are part solid and part tented, giving an authentic safari tent feeling without compromising on quality and guest security. All bedrooms have air conditioning, unique in The Selous, and a plunge pool with a view over the Ruaha River.
