Fodor's Expert Review Roho Ya Selous
Selous Game Reserve, Lindi, Tanzania Fodor's Choice
Part of the high-end tented camps in the national park, Roho ya Selous is a modern space with minimalist luxury. Positioned on a hill alongside a hippo-filled waterway that links Lake Manze to Lake Nzerakera, the camp's suites blend into the surroundings with the use of all natural fabrics, cobblestone flooring, and a half circle of reed walling that encases the bedroom tents. The real star is the 180-degree views from the canvas tents which open up to a small verandah with table and chairs; it's the perfect spot to take in the panoramic views and passing wildlife. The romantic indoor and outdoor rainshower adds to the whole out-of-Africa feel to the space. A simple and comfortable main tent has views over the surrounding bush through open-sided canvas that's stretched and supported by wooden poles. With great guides and the hallmark top-notch service of Asilia, fans of a more luxury tented safari will be thrilled.
