The Selous Game Reserve, at a massive 50,000 kilometres square, is wilderness on a huge scale – the largest in Africa. Set on a wide curve of the mighty Rufiji River, 5* Sand Rivers Selous was originally built by Richard Bonham in 1984 who used this area of the Selous for his famous portered walking safaris, when the area was all but unknown. [slideshow] The lodge is both expedition base, and safari retreat; it’s small but beautifully formed, with an imposing mess, swimming pool, excellent cooking and careful, at-your-whim service. Sand Rivers Selous is also the base for some of Tanzania’s best safari guides who are there to take you out for daily adventures; boating on the Rufiji, weaving past hippopotamus and crocodile; driving on the trail of lion or wild dog; an elephant bush walk; a night sleeping out under the stars, or fishing in solitude, barefoot on a river rock.
