Tucked into the banks of the Rufiji River, Sand Rivers is the most remote and luxurious lodge in the Selous with a unique style allowing you absolute flexibility as to how to spend your days. Here you can glimpse Africa at its most undisturbed, as it was in the 19th Century when the hunter, explorer and naturalist Frederick Selous cast his eyes across the same landscape. You have the rest of the morning at leisure to relax in the camp before heading out after lunch by vehicle or boat to explore the magnificent Selous.
