I can not tell you how smooth every thing has gone. We kept thinking how lucky we were to have found you. All around us we watched travelers frustrated confused and angry, while we just sailed through our travels. And it was all because of you. I will recommend you and Global Basecamps to any one I know that is planning a trip.
Sand Rivers Selous
Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania
Prices From: $620 - $810pp per night
Sand Rivers Selous is both an expedition retreat and a 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 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.
The lodge is a haven of natural luxury. It is a small and peaceful yet vibrant safari hub within the vast Selous Wilderness. Set on a sweeping curve of the great Rufiji River, the lodge is both an expedition base and a safari retreat that has been well loved by safari buffs for years. It was originally built in 1984 by Richard Bonham who used this area of the Selous for his famous portered walking safaris throughout the eighties when the area was all but unknown.
