Siwandu (Selous Safari Camp)

Very plush and luxurious, Siwandu (previously known as Selous Safari Camp) is set amid mixed woodland on the shores of Lake Nzerakera, in Selous Game Reserve. There are two different and entirely separate sections of the camp – North and South – and one or both are used, depending on the number of guests. This is to ensure that the camp never feels crowded or busy. With six rooms in the North Camp, and seven in the South, both are relatively small, and both have the same excellent facilities with a similar feel, but slightly different layout.

Our view of Siwandu (Selous Safari Camp)

Siwandu has a comfortable, unexpectedly homely feel and a great lakeside location. The tents are of a very high standard – the best in the park. Excellent service and guiding mark it out as a high-quality operation that pays real attention to detail.

Whilst Siwandu is more costly than excellent camps like Impala Camp, they do sometimes have ‘special offers’ – if you can take advantage of these then it becomes not only a very good camp, but also relatively affordable.
