Sand Rivers Selous is built into the bank of the Rufiji River, its open-sided suites looking directly onto the water, one of the original and most celebrated lodges in what was long known as the Selous Game Reserve, now part of Nyerere National Park.
Open-fronted stone-and-thatch suites built directly above the river, several with plunge pools, each with an unobstructed view of the water below.
A strong, classic safari dining programme served riverside, drawing on the lodge’s decades-long reputation among long-time Tanzania travellers.
Boat safaris on the Rufiji River, walking safaris, fly-camping, and traditional game drives, the widest range of activities found in the ecosystem.
The Rufiji River supports huge concentrations of hippo and crocodile, while the surrounding miombo woodland holds significant lion, wild dog and elephant populations across one of Africa’s largest protected wilderness areas.
Boat safaris here offer a water-level vantage on hippo and crocodile unavailable from vehicle-based parks, along with strong riverine birdlife.
Nomad Tanzania has long supported anti-poaching and wild dog research across the Selous-Nyerere ecosystem, one of the largest protected wilderness areas on the continent.
