Selous Game Reserve / Nyerere National Park

Africa Safari Selous is more than an accommodation site, it is a ‘lodging experience’ like no other you are likely to encounter. Situated just outside the Selous G.R./Nyerere National Park in southern Tanzania, the accommodation site is spacious with much of the original plant life preserved, promoting environmental importance that is evident in each of the carefully constructed lodgings. The most notable accommodations are the 24 ‘mud bandas’ which were built based on Bomas, the traditional homes of the Maasai people. Circular in shape and thatched with woven dried palm leaves, these spacious en suite rooms are traditional in appearance on the outside and made only with earth derived materials providing natural insulation from the heat. Inside they have been crafted with tiled flooring and fitted out with large wooden beds and modern bedding to provide all the necessities that come to be expected from modern-day accommodations. The bandas are a perfect combination of culture and luxury and a not-to-be-missed ‘experience’ during your visit to Selous G.R. / Nyerere National Park. In addition to the featured banda bungalows, Africa Safari Selous offers several pool bungalows spaciously positioned around the on-site pool. The large size of the rooms fitted out with a variety of bedding options makes them perfect for families or smaller groups of friends sharing their travel adventures. The bathrooms in the bungalows are naturally aerated and environmentally sound lined with bamboo, they are a unique feature in themselves. And of course, no Safari lodging would be complete without canvas homes – otherwise referred to as ‘Luxury Glamping’. The four canvas-based en-suite rooms are scattered throughout the bushlands of the property, providing a bush/camping feel but with the luxurious necessities of modern-day travel. For the more adventurous amongst our guests, we also offer Safari Tents, centrally situated on the property.
