Selous Safari Camp

Jongomero and Siwandu were nothing short of paradise. Beautiful settings, unimaginably friendly staff, delicious food (and lots of it) and awesome game viewing. I must also add that Mark at Ras Kutani did a fantastic job of making Christmas special for us.We particular liked how jongo, Siwandu and Ras K were all distinct in style and made efforts to add little personalized touches. We have both travelled far and wide but can honestly say that the level of service (and enjoyment) was the best either of us have ever experienced.

THANK YOU for helping us plan an incredible trip! We had such an amazing time. Siwandu was fantastic. The service was spectacular and so were the guides. Claire at Siwandu deserves special props…we absolutely loved her.

We had a fantastic trip, thanks.  We loved the combination of locations (beach / safari / island) and all the resorts were excellent.
Siwandu was also excellent, great food again and lovely rooms (our favourite on the holiday).  We met some great people there and the hostess was lovely.  Unfortunately the rains came early, so we had a few wet days towards the end, but that made for a few fun adventures in the mud.  We saw everything we wanted to on safari.

Of the safari camps, both were incredible. I think we preferred Siwandu, mainly because Claire the camp manager was fantastic and we were incredibly lucky with the game viewing (wild dogs, leopard, lions, elephants as well as all the rest….)

The trip was FANTASTIC.  We saw everything — lots of everything — except rhinos and leopards, neither  of which we expected, so no disappointment. We saw lions mating and lions jostling for territory. We sat 2 feet from an elephant and I got to talk to the  hippos (my fav animal). The guiding was superb in Siwandu.

We has an AMAZING time on our trip, truly an unforgettable experience and we were thrilled with the whole itinerary.  Siwandu was a different kind of experience altogether and our butler Alphonse was absolutely wonderful. We had a fabulous guide, Mohammed, who we were lucky enough to have to ourselves. It made the experience really personal and we were really able to take our time with the drives – we even saw a lion kill a wildebeest, what a sight!! Plus we loved the campfire drinks, and the bbq night – spectacular. The managers were also wonderful and very friendly.

Fantastic honeymoon thank you, Siwandu was definitely the highlight, great game – an elephant crossing the lake was a real treat and the food was pretty sensational, how on earth they manage that out in the middle of nowhere I don’t know!

We were really taken aback by the views when arrived at the tent.great hosts, especially the way that they talked to everyone around the camp fire good variety of excellent food (and probably the best out of the camps as it had a local twist to it); say why the food was best.. the private honeymoon dinner with champagne was gratefully received! Mohammed was an excellent guide and we were lucky enough to have two private game drives and our own breakfast brunch on the 6.30am

Selous(Siwandu) had good tents, and excellent food.

Incredible venue with incredible staff.
This venue was the highlight of our honeymoon.
The staff were exceptional at this venue, we had Alfonse as our butler and Apollo as our guide and we couldn’t have been better looked after.
The food was amazing – we had breakfast out every morning which was so incredible and then sun downers each afternoon was so special.
Apollo was amazing on each drive – he was so knowledgeable and we learnt so much from him. We were so lucky, as got to see every animal we had hoped to.
We couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough!!
