Roho ya Selous, meaning ‘soul of Selous’ in Swahili, sits on the Rufiji River within the Selous-Nyerere ecosystem, an Asilia property built to capture the essence of what has long made this region one of Africa’s great wilderness areas.
Rooms & Table
The Rooms
Canvas tents set along the riverbank, each with a private veranda facing the Rufiji River.
Food & Service
A strong, contemporary dining programme served riverside, consistent with Asilia’s broader standards.
Activities
Boat safaris on the Rufiji River, walking safaris, and traditional game drives across the surrounding miombo woodland.
Wildlife & Photography
The Rufiji River corridor supports significant hippo, crocodile and elephant populations, with wild dog and lion found across the surrounding woodland.
A Photographer's Note
Boat safaris here offer water-level access to hippo and crocodile activity that vehicle-based game drives elsewhere in the ecosystem can’t replicate.
Conservation & Impact
Asilia’s Selous operations support anti-poaching and wild dog research across one of Africa’s largest protected wilderness areas.
