Discover Tanzania's Hidden Secrets with the Selous Safari Company
January 31, 2011
From the pristine natural wilderness of the camps at the Selous Game Reserve and Ruaha National Park to the beachfront cottages at Ras Kutani on the Indian Ocean, couples and families alike can truly relax, safe in the knowledge that their every wish can be catered for.
Discover all that southern Tanzania has to offer, whether it's by boat, car or on foot. Safari enthusiasts can explore one of the most photogenic, unspoilt landscapes and best game viewing opportunities on the continent whilst staying at one of the following intimate camps:
The 13-tent, Selous Safari Camp boasts unrivalled views, privacy and luxury in the heart of the Selous Game Reserve. The size of a European country, it has the highest concentration of African wildlife, countless birdlife and is home to over a million large animals and half of Tanzania's elephant population.
Hidden Secret... The mighty Rufiji River, which runs through the reserve, is swarming with fish which in turn brings about some of the world's best water-birding, it is also home to the largest crocodile and hippo population in Africa. Boat safaris allow guests to get up close and personal to these majestic creatures.
The eight-tent Jongomero Camp offers a great vantage point from which to take in the sights and sounds of the African bush. The Ruaha National Park is home to huge herds of elephant, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, impala, eland, hippo, crocodile, lion and leopard to name a few. Built on raised wooden platforms with thatched roofs, each of the luxury en suite tents contain a dining and living area, eight-foot wide dhow wood emperor bed and a spacious private verandah enabling guests to view the animals that pass freely through the camp.
Hidden Secret... As Jongomero is the only camp situated in the remote south-western sector of the Ruaha National Park, it promises an off-the-beaten-track, pure wilderness experience.
Before or after some serious game viewing, take time out on the shores of the Indian Ocean at Ras Kutani. Offering just nine cottages, four hillside suites and one family house amid long stretches of pristine deserted beaches and warm blue seas, this small coastal retreat of castaway luxury is the perfect hideaway for those seeking solace, luxury and Tanzanian charm.
Hidden Secret... Turtles come to nest along the shore of Ras Kutani in season, and guests are invited to get involved in projects that look out for their welfare.
