Why we use this property
Siwandu, formerly Selous Safari Camp and now run by Laba Laba, is one of the luxury upgrades on our 4-Day Nyerere Safari with Boat Safari. It stands among trees on the bank of Lake Nzerakera in the park’s central wildlife area. The camp was redesigned around a single colour, green, after a line of Lorca’s poetry: chandeliers of green clay beads, seating in green velvet and open-air showers in green zellige tile, under thatched roofs. The tented suites have a copper bathtub out on the terrace, and there is a gym alongside the dining and lounge areas. Game drives, guided walks and boat safaris on the lake are offered. Tent numbers and categories are confirmed on your quote, along with how the camp fits a road trip from Dar es Salaam.
Ideal for design-minded couples, honeymoons, and guests who want boat, walking and vehicle safaris from one camp.
