The Selous Mbega Camp is situated in its own forest
reserve on the banks of the mighty Rufiji River, bordering the Selous
Game Reserve, Africa's largest protected wildlife area.
A green ceiling of tree branches and leaves, providing
almost always shade throughout the day, covers the camp area. These
trees are sometimes visited by a variety of monkeys, including the
Angolan Black & White Colobus monkey, known in Kiswaheli as Mbega
mweupe, or Mbega, to which the camp owes its name.
Thirteen large safari tents, built on wooden
platforms, mosquito & insect proof, with en suite bathrooms, and a
verandah. Nine of our tents have a magnificent view over the Rufiji
River. One looks at a dried out waterhole at the rear of the camp,
with some animal or bird activity during day and especially at night.
The Restaurant and Bar are situated under a palm leave thatched roof
around a Mahogany tree, facing the Rufiji River. The kitchen provides
a variety of different cuisines.
Activities include game viewing in four wheel drive
vehicles, walking safaris and boat safaris on the Rufiji River, as
well as cultural trips to the local villages.
