Hotel Description
The Selous is Africa’s oldest and biggest Game Reserve, and one of its last great wilderness areas. This UNESCO World Heritage Site has long been renowned for having more wild dog, elephant, lion, hippo and buffalo than any other game reserve in the World.
Azura Selous has a pristine location on the banks of the Great Ruaha river, teeming with hippo, waterbuck and impala. Far from the madding crowds, in an isolated area we are protecting, you are ensured total privacy and exclusivity of game viewing. Whilst we are known for our lion, leopard and wild dog sightings, as well as the ever present hippos, it’s also a superb base for exploring this vast wilderness in our open sided Landrover safari vehicles, tracking the wildlife for a truly authentic safari experience, with some of the best trained guides in Tanzania.
There is no fixed safari schedule at Azura, instead our guides will tailor-make your day with game viewing drives that are as long or as short as you wish, through varied terrain and habitats, from ravines and miombo woodland, to the plains of Little Serengeti, the confluence of the Ruaha and Rufiji Rivers, or a full day visit to the lakes and Selous’ grave.
We are free to off-road where we wish, traverse dry river beds looking for leopard, take a bush walk to discover the ‘little 5’, glide the river by boat, learn to fish for tigers, catfish and squeakers, or try the thrill of a night drive. Guests also love to just sit back, relax and enjoy the luxury of our beautiful villas and main camp. This is the wild, authentic, tented African safari you have been dreaming of, without compromising on the luxury you need to feel at home.
Azura has just 12 spacious designer ‘tented villas’ along the banks of the Ruaha river, with private plunge pools, butler-hosts to look after your every need and fabulous dining in varied locations.
It’s quite simply the most luxurious, comfortable safari accommodation in Southern Tanzania, and the perfect place to relax. But our highly trained guides are what will make your safari at Azura truly special, personalising a safari itinerary for you that includes extensive game viewing drives in open sided Landrovers, both on and off road, walking adventures, boating, fishing and star gazing.
This is authentic Africa as it is supposed to be, with Azura style luxury every step of the way.
