THE SELOUS MBEGA CAMP IS CHANGING ITS LOOK.

The SELOUS MBEGA CAMP, set up along the mighty Rufiji River. Just 500 metres away from the border of the Selous Game Reserve, in its own private 60 ha riverine forest reserve.

A green ceiling of tree branches and leaves, providing almost always shade throughout the day, covers the camp area. These trees are sometimes visited by a variety of monkeys, including the Angolan Black & White Colobus monkey, known in Kiswaheli as Mbega mweupe, or Mbega, to which the camp owes its name.

The Restaurant and Bar are situated under a palm leave thatched roof around a Mahogany tree, facing the Rufiji River.
The kitchen provides a variety of different cuisines or so called "Bush Recipes"

The “New” Camp will feature a deck area next to a swimming pool.

THE “ORIGINAL” CAMPS IDEA OF TENTS WILL HOWEVER STILL CONTINUE TO BE OPERATED AS WELL IN THE FORM OF SATELLITE CAMPS TO THE SELOUS MBEGA CAMP. THE SATELLITE CAMPS WILL BE FEATURED ON THE ORIGINAL CAMP PAGE ON THIS WEBSITE WHEN THEY START TO OPERATE IN 2009.

The camp also has:

A “Dungu” (view tower) over a seasonal waterhole.

The accomodation at Selous Mbega Camp in the “Original Camp” is in large safari tents, built on wooden platforms, mosquito & insect proof, with en- suite bathrooms, and a verandah. Ten of our tents have a magnificent view over the Rufiji River. Two look at a dried out waterhole at the rear of the camp, with some animal or bird activity during day and especially at night.

The “New” Camps first cottage and apartment has been built since September 2007.

It has been named the “Colobus House” and is the first of another four such houses.

The cottage rooms are mosquito & insect proof, with en- suite bathrooms and verandah. A lawn area with a park bench and a view over the Rufiji River.

The apartment is a special design, split up into a large balcony with a magnificent view over the Rufiji River, a living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

In the “New” Camp there will be a total of eight cottage rooms, as well as four apartments.

Construction of the camp was commenced on the 31st of January 2000 by its owners & seven tanzanian staff.

The owners of the camp & their staff have been operating smaller fly- camps within the Selous Game Reserve & Southern Tanzania since 1997.
But have been involved within the Selous Game Reserve since 1994.

The aim is to provide the exotic African atmosphere, offering mainly small camps at locations that truly function as an exciting adventure tourist destination. Continuing with the tradition of the old "Hunter Camps" of the past in the new role of "Photographic Hunting".

At SELOUS MBEGA CAMP we pride ourselves in being a small and personal “family” camp
