Selous Serena Camp โ Rufiji River Luxury in Nyerere National Park
Selous Serena Camp was formerly known as Selous Luxury Camp before being taken over and rebranded by Serena Hotels. The camp sits on the Rufiji River in the heart of Nyerere National Park and maintains a first-rate position for wildlife viewing โ the river corridor here is one of the park's best areas for lion, elephant, wild dog and the large hippo and crocodile populations that define the Selous experience.
The twelve air-conditioned tented rooms all feature private plunge pools on their balconies โ a notable luxury feature that separates this from most Nyerere camps. Canvas walls with canvas accents meet luxurious rugs and rosewood furniture. The spa offers massages, body treatments and facials. All-inclusive rates are available covering accommodation, meals, selected drinks and game drives. Serena Hotels brings operational reliability and trained hospitality standards to one of Tanzania's finest wildlife settings.

Selous Serena Camp is one of the finest mid-to-upper tier options in Nyerere National Park โ private plunge pools for every tent at this price is exceptional, and Serena Hotels' operational reliability delivers consistent standards. The wild dog habitat and Rufiji River boat safaris add unique value. Our recommendation for Serena loyalists wanting a Nyerere safari.โ The SafariBando team
