Nice setting. Good value for the money. Near airstrip. Good friendly staff. They say they take credit cards. They really donât. We had to pay cash since their machine did not work. Their back up internet card taker double charged after it said it failed to go through and after cash was substituted for failed transaction. So watch out.
Prima freundliches Personal, toller Service,wir hattn viel SpaĂ

Never again
Very nice rooms and the office staff were nice. They nickel and dime you though and everything is overpriced. Stayed in much nicer places and paid much less. Food is not comparable to even much cheaper hotels. It was very disappointing and you are far from anything else so you are stuck with overpriced bad food. Also they give you no choice to order. The WiFi was excellent.
Everything was amazing the staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is out of this world i would go back here just for food. Its a good location aswel close enough to the village if you need to go to shops and close to the park gates too.
Africa Safari Camp gives you the full safari experience. Donât expect a 5-star hotel with A/C and perfect amenities. That said, it was an excellent stay. The safaris that were arranged by the camp were great, with a shout out to our guides Innocent and Manaynu, who took us around Selous Game Reserve for 6-7 hours on 2 different days. We saw almost all the animals we were looking for and more. The other activities available at the Camp were a Bush Walk, a Village Tour and a Boat Safari, all lasting about 90 minutes each, and each worthwhile, just to have some different experiences.
One main issue we had regarding the planning was that the company that owns the camp could not give us definitive times of our short flights to/from the camp. Thus, after a long flight to Tanzania, we were left wondering if/when we would catch the 25-minute flight to the camp. We found out our flight time 1 day before we arrived.
Back to the Camp, I think they could do a few small things to make life in the Bush slightly more comfortable. For example, in their small shop, the one and only snack they carry is Pringles. It would be nice if they had at least one type of diet soda in the bar. The screening in the units especially around the bathroom had some holes and let in bugs, which we fixed with some duct tape we happen to be carrying. The pool was nice, but had very slippery steps and should have some of that sand-paper tape on them for safety.
Fantastisk sted og koncept, hvor man har en god infrastruktur ift,. at vÊre turist, men uden det er overgjort, sÄ charmen og lokalkolorit er bevaret. StÊrkt anbefalelsesvÊrdigt! Gode turmuligheder med meget kompetent og behagelige guider, og gode afslapningsmuligheder bagefter. Helt fri for masseturisme.

Rustic charm near Selous Park Gate
This is a rustic and basic establishment, that provides all that you need. It is not pretentious at all, what you see is what you get. It succeeds in creating a bush experience. However, the greatest asset of this establishment is its people. Friendly, service and client orientated and willing to go the extra mile.
machten einen 10-stĂŒndigen gtame drive mit allen tieren, die man sich vorstellen kann allerdings in hoher preisklasse, , auch boattrip und walking safari waren sehr gut. village tiur war hingegen eiun reinfall -, da vom management kaum kontakt mit locals da war. aber das war nur ein wermutstropfen eines sehr gelungenen aufenthaltes - drei erwachsene und zwei kinder(7 und 10).
De huisjes zijn goed ingericht. De tenten die op de site staan bestaan niet meer. Dat zijn gewone tenten geworden.
We hebben zowel in een bungalow als de mudhut overnacht. Beide zijn wat faciliteiten hetzelfde. De midhut is alleen rond en minder groot. De mudhut staat niet naast het zwembad maar verder naar achter in het camp.
Het ontbijt is netjes geregeld. Genoeg keus voor de ochtend. Iedere dag krijg je een vast driegangenmenu als lunch en dinner. Het is dus geen buffet of keuzemenu. Ze doen erg hun best om iedere dag weer iets lekkers en nieuws te maken.
Er lopen Masai rond het kamp ter beveiliging. Fijn ook voor mensen die zomaar even buiten het kamp willen wandelen.... Dan lopen ze stiekem achter je aan.
Het is en blijft de bush. Verwacht dus geen extreme luxe en culinaire hoogstandjes. Warm water is ook vrij zeldzaam. Het is allemaal netjes, hygiënisch en vooral heel relaxed.
De safari's zijn goed georganiseerd met getrainde en met het gebied bekende chauffeurs en gidsen. Je geeft van te voren aan wat je nog graag wil zien. Vervolgens ga je ook echt op 'jacht' om ze te zien. Wij hebben vier dagen een safari gedaan. Iedere dag zagen we weer nieuwe dieren en kwamen we weer in nieuwe situaties terecht.
Tijdens ons verblijf was er wat mis met de boeking maar gelukkig was dit netjes opgelost en konden we weer verder genieten van onze vakantie. Ze denken met je mee en luisteren naar je wensen. Erg fijn. Vooral Loes was een fijn luisterend oor en regelde de zaken goed
Kleine feine Lodge vor den Toren des Selous Game R
Diese kleine, aber feine, Lodge befindet sich ca. 2 km VOR dem Mtemere Gate am Osteingang des Selous Game Reserve. Die Positionsangaben auf allen Webseiten die ich gefunden habe sind falsch! Am besten vorher anrufen und sich den Weg erklĂ€ren lassen. Jetzt aber zur Lodge: ca. 6 HĂ€uschen gruppieren sich mitten im Busch um einen Pool, dazu kommt eine Bar, eine kleine Lounge und das Restaurant. Alles sehr stilvoll afrikanisch und nicht ĂŒberkandidelt. Ăberhaupt ist die Lodge keine Hyper-Luxus-Lodge, wo einem die Angestellten noch die Pantoffeln ans Bett bringen - und das ist gut so!!! Man kann sich hier einfach wie zu Hause wohl fĂŒhlen. Alles ist sauber, die Angestellten sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es werden auch viele AktivitĂ€ten angeboten aus denen man frei wĂ€hlen kann, ohne dass sie einem aufgedrĂ€ngt werden. Das ganze zudem zu angemessenen Preisen. Also ich komme wieder!
