Selous Wilderness Camp

Selous Wilderness Camp, which opened in July 2009, is Moivaro's newest camp.

Selous Wilderness Camp is set along the palm-fringed edges of the wide, meandering Rufiji River, which is one of the largest water systems in East Africa.

With its associated wetlands, lakes and swamps, it is one of the most outstanding ecological systems in the whole of Eastern Africa. Due to this unique ecosystem the Selous Game Reserve was designated as a World
Heritage site.

With only 7 spacious tents and a mixture of solid wooden furniture and leather sofas, Selous Wilderness Camp offers intimacy and exclusivity to the guests

The 10 spacious villas are all privately set and lavishly expansive. Each villa is beautifully built, crafted and furnished in Zanzibar style. All villas consist of a spacious bedroom, semi open-air ocean view sitting room (baraza-style), cloak room with private safe, second floor bedroom and private terrace. From your ocean view terrace you can watch the local fishermen sailing the Indian Ocean.

Guests can choose between 7 Sea view Villas or 3 Baobab Villas. The Sea view Villas all have magnificent direct sea view, including a private terrace directly overlooking the Menai Bay. The 3 Baobab Villas have their own plunge pool and air-conditioning in the bedroom and are oriented towards the garden with several big baobab trees. The Baobab Villas have ocean views from the upstairs.

The lush and tropical garden with old mango and baobab trees are home to many indigenous animals including the rare Red Colobus monkey.
The beach is accessible both from the lodge and also by a small nature trail (about 50 m) that takes guests down to a small permanent beach.
