Accommodation:
Selous Safari camp

Selous Safari Camp
This camp remains under the same management and ownership despite its name change, and continues to operate an authentic and elegant permanent tented camp among the palm trees on the banks of the Rufiji River. The camp is spacious and stylishly designed for an atmospheric stay, with a shady swimming pool to complete its appeal.
The richly decorated dining room and bar are raised high on stilts substantial enough to withstand the onslaught of elephant perusals during candlelit suppers, and the billowing sleeping tents each have their own private veranda and are colorfully bright and airy. The atmosphere is relaxed and yet wonderfully comfortable, with good attention to detail

SandRivers Selous
Sand Rivers Selous is a smart, permanent camp stylishly designed in chunky dark wood and flagstones with views over a wide and dramatically rocky stretch of the Rufigi River. Its eight spacious accommodation bandas are built on stilts with a shaggy overhanging thatch, each with one side open to the river, giving clear views of the water and sandbanks from a lavishly net-covered bed.
The lodge has a congenial old-English colonial atmosphere with a penchant for surprise G&Ts on a scenic hilltop to complete a long walk through the bush, and a taste for safari chic.

Ruffiji River camp
This was one of the first tented camps in the area and consequently claims a superb location over a wide curve in the river. The dining area and bar are well positioned for memorable sunsets every night, and accommodation is in permanent ground-level tents. The Italian management is popular with the Italian market, which have a tendency to travel in rather large and rowdy groups and eat pasta for supper every night. The camp is also popular with a very large and rowdy population of velvet monkeys who have a merry tendency to engage in noisy family disputes on your tent-flap step.

Beho beo camp
Unlike other lodges in Selous Beho Beho is located in the highlands of Selous. This gives it both unrivalled views and a sense of privacy in which to unwind and relax.
Safaris are led by experienced guides who ensure that each safari is tailor made to guests needs whether it is a 10 km walk followed by breakfast in the bush or an evening safari drive ending with sundowners at one of Selous most breathtaking, unknown spots. Either way safaris at Beho Beho are guaranteed to provide.
