Selous Game Reserve
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (15 reviews)
"Nice setting. Good value for the money. Near airstrip. Good friendly staff. They say they take credit cards. They really don’t. We had to pay cash since their machine did not work. Their back up internet card taker double charged after it said it failed to go through and after cash was substituted for failed transaction. So watch out."

9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (5 reviews)
"- Service / assistance: great service rendered by friendly and attentive staff, esp. Jacob - Accommodation: quite spacious luxury tent, however no proper separation of living and bath rooms. This should not be a problem for couples though - Safari: extensive tours with lots of different animals to see. Very experienced and knowledgeable tour guide staff. Special thanks to Alfred and Isaac - Food: tasty ranging from traditional African to European cuisine"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Selous Game Reserve?
The best area to stay in Selous Game Reserve is along the Rufiji River, particularly within the northern section of the reserve.

This area is the heart of the reserve's activity, offering unparalleled access to wildlife. The Rufiji River itself is a major landmark, attracting a wide variety of animals, especially during the dry season. Lodges and camps here are often set directly on the riverbanks, providing excellent views and opportunities for boat safaris.

For couples seeking an exclusive and romantic safari experience, staying along the Rufiji River is ideal. Many lodges in this area offer private plunge pools, outdoor showers, and personalised service, allowing for intimate wildlife viewing directly from your accommodation or during private river excursions. The focus is on high-quality game drives and boat safaris, often with fewer vehicles than in more accessible parks.

Solo travellers looking for a classic, high-quality safari will also find the Rufiji River area perfect. The lodges here typically offer well-organised group game drives and boat safaris, fostering a sense of camaraderie with fellow travellers.

What are the most romantic hotels in Selous Game Reserve for couples?
For a romantic hotel in Selous Game Reserve, the Africa Safari Selous is an excellent choice for couples.

This 4-star hotel, with an 8.0 rating, offers a wonderful experience with amenities specifically suiting couples, such as couples dining options. Guests can also enjoy the outdoor pool with sun loungers, great for relaxing together. For convenience, the hotel provides an area shuttle and a 24-hour airport shuttle, making arrivals and departures smooth.
When is the best time to go to Selous Game Reserve?
The best time to visit Selous Game Reserve is during the dry season, from June to October.

During these months, the weather is consistently warm and sunny, with very little rainfall. This makes for excellent wildlife viewing as animals congregate around the remaining water sources, such as the Rufiji River and its tributaries. The vegetation is also less dense, which improves visibility for spotting animals. This period is ideal for all travellers, as the conditions are comfortable for game drives and boat safaris.

For those interested in birdwatching, the short wet season from November to December can be a good option. The migratory birds arrive, and the landscape is lush and green after the first rains. While there might be occasional showers, they usually don't disrupt activities significantly.

The long wet season, from March to May, sees heavy rainfall, which can make some areas of the reserve inaccessible due to muddy roads and high water levels. Many camps close during this time, and wildlife viewing can be challenging.
