The heart of the southern wild.
“We select Roho ya Selous for clients seeking the thrill of the unexplored south. Translating to the ‘Heart of Selous,’ this contemporary canvas sanctuary places you in the center of Nyerere National Park, offering an exquisite balance of water-based exploration and rugged predator tracking far removed from the northern crowds.”
Set on a peninsula overlooking Lake Nzerakera, a massive waterway linked to the Rufiji River, the camp features just eight beautifully appointed canvas tents. The design is bright and contemporary, utilizing open mesh to capture the river breeze, stone floors, and a brilliant over-bed cooling system to ensure absolute comfort in the warm southern climate.
Because Nyerere National Park is so vast and uncrowded, the luxury here is defined by freedom of movement. You can shift seamlessly from tracking packs of endangered African wild dogs in an open 4×4 to drifting silently in a boat past pods of bathing hippos, returning to camp for a private dinner beneath a canopy of stars.
