Selous Game Reserve
Set amidst dense indigenous forests, the Selous Serena Camp is the ultimate wilderness retreat. The camp is situated in the Nyerere National Park (formerly known as the Selous Game Reserve), which is 45 minute's flight from Dar es Salaam International Airport.
Vast, pristine and largely undiscovered, the spectacular Nyerere is a World Heritage Site and the largest expanse of game reserve in Africa. Covering over 50,000 square kilometres of rolling savannah, lakes, rivers and deltas, it is 4 times the size of the Serengeti and larger than the entire nation of Switzerland. Home to the largest concentrations of elephants in the world, this unique wildlife arena also boasts some of the most exclusive and pioneering boating safaris that Africa has to offer.
One of the last untouched gems of the nation's Parks, it offers the visitor a unique opportunity to see Africa the way the early explorers found it - pristine, alive with game, empty of tourists and utterly awe inspiring.
With 360-degree views over the surrounding bush, the 12 widely spaced tents are presented in time-honoured safari style, with natural thatch roofs, elegant Victorian-styled bathrooms and private viewing decks. Luxuriously presented, each tent features an engaging mix of canvas walls, crystal chandeliers, opulent rugs and elegant rosewood furniture.
The charming central dining room, lounge, library and bar, which are interconnected by broad wooden walkways offering excellent views of the Selous Game Reserve. High above the lodge, is a spectacular ‘infinity’ pool and sundeck.
