Why we love Selous

Wilderness, Two Ways
Selous is one of the few places where your safari moves from open savannah to winding riverbanks—all in a single day. Watch elephants wander past your 4x4 in the morning, then drift past hippos and crocodiles as the sun sets over the Rufiji. It’s nature, unplugged and untamed.
Bush Picnic
During your Slow Safari, swap your regular meal spot for something truly unforgettable—like a shaded clearing in the middle of the bush. With delicious food, cold drinks, and nature all around you, this picnic is all about slowing down and soaking up the Selous magic.

The Slow Safari
This isn't your average game drive. Our Slow Safari is all about taking the pressure off and soaking up the wild at your own pace. Whether you're spotting elephants by the riverbanks or watching the sun melt over the miombo woodlands, we keep things unhurried and magical.
