Roho Ya Selous

Is the Roho Ya Selous for Me?

Roho ya Selous lies on a small peninsula in Nyerere National Park, overlooking Lake Nzerakera and near the Rufiji River. You are in a prime wildlife-viewing area with marshes, rivers, and lakes teeming with animal life.

You’ll stay in one of eight canvas-tented suites, each tucked under trees with private verandas. The tents are spacious, built on stone-paved platforms, with en suite bathrooms featuring both indoor and outdoor showers. An ‘Evening Breeze’ cooling system above the bed and mesh-screened windows help you rest comfortably through warm nights.

Communal areas include a lounge, bar, and dining tent set on stone bases under stretched canvas, flowing into shaded outdoor spaces. There is a swimming pool where you can cool off, WiFi in main areas, solar power backed by a generator, and a complimentary laundry service.

Evenings are often spent around the firepit with sundowners, listening to the sounds of hippos or other nightlife close by. Your days are varied: early morning and late afternoon game drives, walking safaris, and boating safaris offer multiple ways to connect with the wilderness.

Roho ya Selous is perfect for travellers looking for a mix of comfort and adventure: wildlife lovers, families with older children, couples seeking romance in the bush, and first-time visitors wanting a classic East African safari without the crowds.
