Due to its remote location, Selous has remained one of the untouched gems of Tanzania’s parks. Boating safaris offer visitors a chance to see the diverse life along the Rufiji river up close and walking safaris and fly camping add a sense of adventure to the African experience.

Decide each day whether you prefer an early bush walk followed by a game drive and a romantic sundowner, would you rather have a sumptuous breakfast and go for a full day game drive or would like to rest and only enjoy a leisurely boat safari and watch a spectacular sunset with your favourite drink next to a noisy hippo family?

Accommodation: Lake Manze / Selous Safari Camp

Approximately 35 km south of Dar es Salaam, Ras Kutani is accessible by air or road. The shoreline along Ras Kutani comprises wide sandy beaches, backed by palm trees and at intervals by small cliffs and rocky outcrops.
Unlike many locations in East Africa, the beach here at Ras Kutani is not generally used by local people, since there are no villages in the immediate vicinity.

The freshwater lagoon on the landward side of the beach and the forested lagoon at the shores contrast with the open seaward side where the waves of the Indian Ocean wash against an endless beach under a broad blue sky.
Take a walk along the beautiful beach without being hassled by anyone. enjoy swimming at all tides and snorkelling right from the beach, explore the coastline in a kayak or on horseback or simply enjoy the beautiful views of the turquoise sea with a book and your favourite.
