Why Stay at Lukula Selous

Lukula Selous embodies the spirit of early African exploration, but with simple indulgences. It draws from the influences of Frederick Courteney Selous' camps of bygone days. He and his contemporaries would have found home and comfort here - a place to renew and revive their spirits, document their discoveries and continue along their intrepid ways. It is in this vein, that guests are welcomed into the stylish and authentic retreat of Lukula Selous.

There are no permanent structures in camp, and we relocate the camp each season. Our preferred campsites is set on the Luwego River and spread out amongst a large shady riverine forest of acacia, tamarind, fig and sausage trees.

Lukula Selous is an experience not a destination. It is a unique work of art, never the same twice, and never predetermined. There is no detailed itinerary - or at least none that we know of - it is about impromptu experience centered on the wildlife and game experience around us. It is designed to change your life.  Quite a big statement, but one that has proved true time and again.
