Luxury Holidays At Roho ya Selous

Nestled within Tanzania’s Selous Game Reserve, set on a small peninsula overlooking a wildlife rich waterway, Roho ya Selous – aptly translating to “the heart of Selous” – comprises just eight contemporary tents. Tucked into the trees and wonderfully spaced out, they offer a private and comfortable stay on your luxury Tanzania safari, complete with en suite bathrooms with toiletries, outdoor showers, bush-facing verandas and a unique ‘evening breeze’ cooling system. With the expert team, head out into the rugged surroundings on once-in-a-lifetime game drives and walking safaris, or glide by boat along the wildlife-filled river. Back at camp, take a dip in the swimming pool or enjoy delicious meals cooked by the resident chefs.

Why Roho ya Selous is so special...

Safari

With a prime location amid the renowned Selous, game drives from the camp are nothing short of spectacular. Head out on the open-sided vehicles, complete with a shaded roof and plugs for keeping your cameras charged and your drinks cool, alongside the camp’s expert guides. Unforgettable animal sightings may include lion, leopard, elephant, giraffe and much more, while the reserve is home to one of Africa’s largest populations of wild dog. To immerse yourself even further into the rugged environment, why not head out on a walking safari, tracking prints on foot and experiencing the intricate workings of the area. Please note that walking safaris are only available to guests over 16 years old.

Hotel Experiences

Boating safaris are also a great way to discover the diverse flora and fauna of the region. Pass hippopotamus and crocodile in the water, while various mammals and bird species come to drink or nest beside the river. A boat safari can be combined with a relaxing afternoon of fishing. Roho ya Selous also offers the option to experience fly camping, in which you camp at a private site deep within the bush with only the light of the stars for a true wilderness adventure.

Wildlife

The wildlife in the Selous Game Reserve and Ruaha National Park is prolific, and safaris can be done in a variety of ways. Morning, afternoon and night game drives will take you on an unforgettable exploration of the parks, whilst a walking safari will give you a greater insight into the wonderful smaller species.  There is also the opportunity to explore the wilderness by boat, on the Rufiji River or Lake Tagalala.

Wildlife
Walking Safaris

Reignite your senses on a walking safari. Accompanied by armed guides and trackers, you will focus on the smaller flora and fauna of the parks.  No two walks are the same and you never know what you may encounter; perhaps a family herd of elephants, rhinos grazing, or a sleeping leopard in a tree.
