Selous River Camp

Top choice in Selous Game Reserve


This friendly place is the closest camp to Mtemere gate. It has cosy, river-facing 'mud huts' with bathrooms, plus small standing tents surrounded by forest with cots and shared facilities. The bar-restaurant area is lovely, directly overlooking the river at a particularly scenic spot. Overall it's a great choice for budget travellers.

Boat safaris, wildlife drives and village tours can be arranged.
