Mikumi National Park abuts the northern border of Africa's biggest game reserve - the Selous – and is transected by the surfaced road between Dar es Salaam and Iringa. It is thus the most accessible part of a 75,000 square km (47,000 square mile) tract of wilderness that stretches east almost as far as the Indian Ocean. The open horizons and abundant wildlife of the Mkata Floodplain, the popular centre piece of Mikumi, draw frequent comparisons to the more famous Serengeti Plains.

Africa Safari Selous is more than an accommodation, as a stay here is an unrivalled safari experience that you are unlikely to find anywhere else. Located just outside the Selous or Nyerere National Park in southern Tanzania, the property is spacious. Much of the original vegetation has been retained, and respect for the environment is reflected in each of the carefully constructed rooms. The waterhole that the restaurant overlooks could well provide unexpected views!

Half game drive and Boat safari in Nyerere Park

Half day game drive in the park. Return for lunch, then afternoon Boat trip, dinner and overnight at Africa Safari Selous

Few other safaris in Tanzania evoke the romance, mystique and spiritual delight of the African bush as one in the Nyerere N. Park. Embracing 54,000 square km of south-western Tanzania, it is one of the largest protected wilderness park on the continent, three times larger than the Serengeti and twice the size of Belgium. Named after the legendary 19th century explorer and hunter Frederick Courtney Selous, the reserve was founded by the German colonial administration in 1905. It was later expanded to include traditional elephant migration routes and accommodate the vast herds of buffalo that roam this remote, untouched corner of Africa.
