WHY CHOOSE SAND RIVERS SELOUS?
- Great opportunities for game viewing by vehicle, on foot and by boat and we make the most of all of them.
- The area is quiet without many other camps and is perfect for full immersion in the bush.
- Fly-camping is a highly recommended part of any safari to Sand Rivers Selous, and is available at an extra supplement.
Staying at Sand Rivers
What are the rooms like?
There are eight open-fronted cottages raised on high concrete platforms above the mile-wide Rufiji River: five standard riverside rooms and three hillside suites, the latter with an additional lounge area and private plunge pool. All are en-suite with flush toilets, powerful showers, hot and cold running water and ceiling fans over the bed.
Is fly-camping available?
It is, at an extra supplement, and the camp recommends it as part of any stay. The surrounding area is quiet with few other camps, which is what makes a night out under canvas away from the lodge feel worthwhile rather than gimmicky.
What activities are included, and is there an age limit?
Rates start from US$625 per person per night in the June and November to February windows and include full board, shared game drives, bush walks, boat trips, bush picnics, cook-out breakfasts, sundowners, trips to the hot springs and fishing, plus scheduled road transfers to Kiba airstrip, drinks except champagne and premium wines, and laundry. The minimum age is eight.
