Selous Impala Tented Camp β Rufiji River Raised Tents and Free-Roaming Wildlife
Selous Impala Camp (pronounced "Seluu") is situated inside Nyerere National Park on the banks of the Rufiji River. A French TripAdvisor review captures the experience vividly: "Ce camp, situé au bord de la rivière Rufiji, est incroyable. Des tentes sur pilotis offrent un très bon confort, les animaux vont et viennent librement, la sécurité est assurée par les Maasaï, le personnel est aux petits soins, le cuisinier vous prépare des plats exceptionnels et des pique-niques incroyables." (Translation: "This camp on the Rufiji River bank is incredible. Raised tents offer very good comfort, animals come and go freely, Maasai ensure security, staff are attentive, the cook prepares exceptional dishes and incredible picnics.")
The camp's stilted raised tents are well-spaced along the Rufiji River for privacy and wildlife views. A skillful guide team, family-friendly atmosphere and both vehicle and boat safaris are offered. Nyerere is Tanzania's largest national park β 30,000kmΒ², larger than Belgium, with Africa's densest lion and elephant populations.
