Selous , Tanzania
Built in an area virtually untouched for centuries, the lodge has been constructed with thoughtful care and respect towards nature. Occupying a special place on top of a small hill and on the shores of the mighty Ruaha River, guests have a choice of accommodation, six standard hill tents or for a little extra luxury get very close to the water in one of the four private river suites, each with individual plunge pool and deck. Honeymooners and families are not forgotten and for absolute privacy, the private river hideaway with own infinity pool, bar and restaurant is a must.
