Overview
Selous Mbega Camp is s a new tented camp in a private forest on the boundary; just outside the eastern Mtemere Gate on the banks of the Rufiji River. As you are staying outside the park you only pay National Park fees when entering on game drives; and this combined with the large rooms offers a cheaper safari option for visiting the Selous.
Accommodation
• There are eight large en-suite tents set among the foliage overlooking the river.
• Each tent has three beds and a large veranda offering pleasant though not game-filled views.
Facilities

They are situated under a palm leave thatched roof around a Mahogany tree, facing the Rufiji River. There is also an additional sundown area and Bar.
• A viewing tower overlooks a seasonal waterhole.
Activities
• Like most lodges and camps in the Selous, the Camp offers a variety of safari options including vehicle and boat safaris within the Selous and walking safaris in the boundary forest reserve.
• Game viewing in 4wd vehicles, by foot on walking safaris and on the Rufiji River as a boat safari. Cultural trips to the local villages surrounding the Selous Game Reserve can also be arranged.
Dining
