This new lodge is situated at the Rufiji River, some 20 minutes from the park border of the Selous Game Reserve, and 30 minutes from Mtemere airstrip.

Selous Big 5 Lodge has 4 bandas (huts) and a family bungalow, with hot an cold water, proper showers and toilets, double bed with mosquito nettings and a wardrobe. All bungalows are overlooking the majestic Rufiji River, with its abundance of birds, and sometimes you can spot hippos and even crodiles directly from the lodge!

The lodges organises Boat Safaris on the Rufiji River, Walking Safaris, cultural village tours and game drives in the Selous Game Reserve. Of course also airport transfers (Mtemere), so that it's perfect for fly-in Safaris, from either Zanzibar or Dar, or even Arusha, to combine it with a visit of the northern parks of Tanzania.

The charming German owner manages the place, with emphasis on very good food and tentative service.
