Set on a rocky outcrop above the Rufiji River in Julius Nyerere National Park, Sand Rivers Selous is a bright, airy lodge. Looking out over the swirling river feels like a scene from an adventure film, and the eight open-plan chalets on platforms offer all the comfort and luxury you could want. The excellent service takes care of everything you need; dinner is served on a huge tree that has been turned into a dining table, and the swimming pool looks out over the mighty river. Inside, the rooms with their wooden frame, ecru fabrics, outdoor seating area and outdoor shower add to the sense that you have arrived in paradise. After an exciting day of (boat) safaris, nothing beats sitting on your porch at Sand Rivers Selous and watching the sun go down over the mighty Rufiji River.
