Selous: Safari done The Slow Leopard way
Ready for wildlife, but not keen on the five-star price list? Welcome to our Selous camp. This isn't your grandma's packaged tour; it’s an authentic bush experience designed for the adventurous spirit that doesn't mind taking it easy. Imagine waking to the sounds of the wild, spotting incredible animals on game drives, and unwinding under a sky full of stars. We believe unforgettable safari moments should be accessible, not exclusive. So, come join us for some genuine budget-friendly encounters, incredible stories, and maybe even a napping leopard. It's safari down the Slow Leopard Way.

Why we love Selous
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.

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.

The Slow Safari
his 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.
Led by local guides who know these lands inside out, you'll discover not just the big game—but the quiet, hidden wonders that most people zoom past. It’s the safari experience you didn’t know you needed.

Slow Down and Savour
The menu is kept simple, starring with an emphasis on gourmet burgers, fresh salads, and some tasty light bites. Our all- day breakfasts feature the finest eggs, homemade granola and fresh fruit. For those with an appetite but not the budget to match, our tasty hearty budget- friendly Slow cooked lunches are available daily. We are also making progress on the Vegetarian front!
