Roho ya Selous
This camp is an ideal base for exploring the beautiful Selous Game Reserve. Located in the heart of the Selous Game Reserve, the camp is tucked into a shady grove of trees, close to a waterway linking Lake Manze and Lake Nzerakera. Eight spacious safari tents are kept private from one another by the forest vegetation, each with views through the trees to the hippos in the water. Each tent is vast in size, measuring an impressive 60 square metres inside, with a sliding wall hanging which separates the changing area and bathroom. Here you'll find double basins, flush loo and an indoor and outdoor shower.
Stepping away from the traditional style of canvas under makuti thatch, the camp has used the latest technology with stretch canvas tents, and a large shade netting surround. To combat the heat and humidity of the Selous, the camp has included Evening Breeze cooling above the beds to ensure a comfortable night's sleep even in the hottest time of year. The main mess offers a blend of indoor and outdoor living, with plenty of areas to relax with a cool drink and a good book, and fireplaces for cooler evenings.
