A walking safari in Tanzania’s Selous Game Reserve needn’t all be hard work. In fact the best safaris involve as much quiet observation and reflection as walking.
The northern Selous is defined by two irrepressible forces; the vast Rufiji River that carves its way out of the rocky Stieglers Gorge into an inland delta of sand rivers and ox bow lakes… and the large mammals that inhabit - and shape - this part of the world.
Creep silently along paths swept by the feet of large animals to discover secret watering holes. Watch as families of elephant wallow and play entirely oblivious to your presence.
At night, sleep under the stars in a simple camp, listening to the whoop of hyenas and the soft rumblings of passing elephant.
Kiba Point is by a long way the smallest camp in the Selous Game Reserve. If you are a family, or a small group of 4-8, then seriously, look no further. The camp sits on one of the most sublime spots in the Northern Selous, overlooking the Rufiji River as it languidly exits the rocky hills to the east of Steiglers Gorge and flows out onto the wide sandy flood plain, creating an inland delta of sand rivers and lagoons. The lodge is properly intimate with only 4 cottages and is only available for private bookings. Read more?
Selous Impala Camp is small, fairly basic, but well located little camp in the northern Selous. It's set in a great location for game with easy access to the main river, lakes and channels by boat and some good game rich areas for game drives. However, it is quite close to a number of other camps in this part of the reserve. One of Impala's greatest strengths is probably the fact that it's remained a small camp, which is nearly always a good starting point. Read more?
