Overview

Kiba Point is the fabulous base for your private Selous safari. This small 8-bed camp is booked on a totally exclusive basis only; you won't meet another soul beyond the family or friends you've brought with you, and your private lodge staff.

Here - sharing the bush with some of Africa's greatest wildlife - is where you get the best of it all: a wealth of game on your doorstep, days of adventure and fun, and the privacy and pleasure of your own company.

It's the perfect safari house-party, your home away from home. And though it may be hard to drag yourself away, by way of gentle persuasion you'll have your own safari guide, four wheel drive vehicles, and boats at your disposal, so you can disappear at will on game drives, expeditions up the river, or barefoot fishing off a rock.

Kiba Point, our 8-bed private camp in the Selous (available only on an exclusive basis) also ranges from $620 to $890 per adult per night for the entire camp, assuming a minimum of either 4 adults or a family of 2 adults & 3 children. 

Boat safaris

The boat safaris are conducted in sturdy metal boats with a powerful outboard motor on the back and a covered canopy. Each boat safari is guided by a boatman who has grown up on the river and knows all the little nooks and crannies where a boat can sneak through like the back of his hand. They are also well aware of hippo and crocodile behaviour having spent so many years safely guiding people between them. The boat safaris provide some of the best water birding in Africa as well as getting up close and personal to hippos and crocs which swarm through the river system, be they wallowing in the water or basking on the banks.

Walking safaris

Another unique opportunity the Selous has to offer is the possibility of doing a walking safari through the bush. These guided walks are the only activity which leaves very early due to the need to avoid the sun and the heat of midday. Walks leave at 6:30 am accompanied with a watchman and a fully qualified armed guide. The pace is not fast and the ground covered is nothing great. It is a gentle stroll through the wilderness with emphasis more on the little things which are very much neglected from vehicle. The possibility of seeing lions or wild dogs on foot is greatly reduced however elephant sightings are very common and to walk relatively close and safely with these animals is one of natures greatest thrills. The walking concentrates more on ecology, tracking, dung identification, medicinal uses of trees, birds and generally interpreting the bush giving guests a much greater, broader understanding of nature. Not to be missed!!
