Overview

Selous is perhaps the largest game reserve in Africa and the second oldest in the world, still it maintains an exclusive air, which means that your vehicle is often alone at the game sightings.

Selous is the size of Switzerland and has a low number of visitors throughout the year, making it an ideal destination for safari lovers.

12 tent villas with stone interior, outdoor showers, spacious rooms and large terraces with swimming pools overlooking the Grand Ruaha River. It also features a classic slow-paced safari with style, authenticity and a Butler service.

Azure Selous is surely a luxury retreat, as it brings an Afro-chic style of Azura Selous, located on the banks of the river Ruaha. While offering classic and authentic safari experience in a spectacular part of the Selous Game Reserve, it is the second oldest reserve in the world.

After a day of game drives, hiking safaris, canoeing and birdwatching, you can then enjoy the soothing and calming hands of the therapist at Azura African Spa.
