Selous Kinga Lodge — Wildlife at Your Doorstep in Southern Tanzania
Selous Kinga Lodge is in Mloka, near Nyerere National Park's Mtemere Gate, offering secluded private cabins within forested grounds where wildlife is literally on the doorstep. A 2025 TripAdvisor review describes an experience that captures the lodge's appeal: "A few hours after accommodation we could see elephants from our terrace about 30 meters away from us. It was an amazing experience. Monkeys were everywhere... Our cabin was beautiful, cozy." Evening fires with Rufiji River views and guide Justin's cultural warmth (teaching Swahili greetings and dancing with guests) are recurring themes in positive reviews.
The lodge offers game drives, walking safaris and boat safaris. Reviews describe excellent guiding, helpful staff and a genuinely intimate safari atmosphere. At $302/night it sits in the mid-luxury tier of Nyerere accommodation, between the budget Africa Safari Selous and the premier Beho Beho.
Accommodation
Secluded private cabins set in forested grounds with wildlife access and river views. Swimming pool. Restaurant and bar. Walking safaris, game drives and boat safaris. Guide and safari vehicle included in rates.
