Walking safaris are usually based around Lodge and campsite which will be positioned under tall shady trees close to one of the many lagoons close to the Rufiji River. The Selous is a magical place and simply sitting in front of your tent you are able to watch the endless procession of birds and animals throughout the day. The camps are small with up to about six tents. Some are made from mosquito netting and you are truly sleeping under African skies. The tents are large enough to stand in and have proper beds with mattresses.

It is comfortable by camping standards but remember you are in the wilds of Africa and to be prepared to rough it just a little is a requirement. Showers are usually bucket showers but the water will be hot. Relaxed meals with excellent food are prepared over open fire and the camp cooks are trained chefs. Another great draw of the Selous is this huge reserve has high concentration of animals and a low concentration of tourists and is probably one of the best places to see animals in Tanzania.Tanzania does not allow walking safaris in its National Parks with just one or two exceptions, however, the Selous is classified as a Game Reserve and so walking safaris are allowed. A walking safari is usually three to four hours long and the game around the river and lake systems act as a magnet for a vast mixture of animals including lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, hippo and crocodile.

The buffalo population stands in excess of 110,000. Waking in a morning, around the camping area you may be able to witness hundreds of buffalo coming to drink water from the Rufiji River. This alone is one reason [among many] to make the Selous your safari destination. The buffalo have a reputation to be bad tempered and dangerous to humans. This ferocious reputation is a little unfair as like most animals they tend to avoid humans, unless harassed or wounded. The best time to book a walking safari in the Selous is from June until September when the weather is dry and warm with animals being draw to the plentiful water around the Rufiji River. Grazing is also spare on the ground making this time of year easy for spotting the large concentrations of game.

The Selous is not far from Dar es Salaam and there are air strips to the Selous making access easily. The cost of the regular scheduled flights in light aircraft is not expensive from Dar es Salaam, with most camps will include transfers from the airstrips to the camp as part of their service.

Selous Impala Camp is small, fairly basic, but well located little camp in the northern Selous.
Beho Beho has, in the last few years, been transformed from the obscure hobby of an eccentric Welsh family to become one of the best small lodges in Tanzania.

Kiba Point sits on one of the most sublime spots in the Northern Selous, overlooking the Rufiji River as it languidly exits the rocky hills to the east of Stiglers Gorge and flows out onto the wide sandy flood plain, creating an inland delta of sand rivers and lagoons.

Sand Rivers Selous is a first-class small safari lodge offering top quality safaris by vehicle, foot and boat well away from the crowds.

Selous Walking safari with no doubt one of the best wildlife experiences in Tanzania.
Selous Private Camp is immediately next to its larger sister the Selous Safari Camp and is very similar in style and feel, though with just 4 tents it is a more exclusive experience.

Selous Safari Camp, one of the older camps in the Selous, is the sister camp to Jongomero in Ruaha and has long been one of the best places to stay in the Selous Game Reserve.
