About Sand Rivers Selous

Sand Rivers Selous is an ultra-remote, indulgent lodge located on the banks of the Rufiji River in the Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous). The camp is designed with open-fronted, sophisticated chalets that provide unobstructed views of the river and its inhabitants, including hippos and crocodiles. The landscape is lush and diverse, ranging from riverine forests to expansive plains. The experience at Sand Rivers is highly flexible, offering walking safaris, boat trips, and game drives tailored to the guest's interests. The remote location ensures a sense of complete isolation from the outside world. It is a premier choice for travelers looking for an adventurous yet luxurious stay, where the wild beauty of Nyerere is the undisputed focus of every day.

Why we like it

The combination of boat safaris on the Rufiji and the incredibly remote location makes for a unique, multi-faceted way to explore Nyerere.
