An alternative and less expensive way to experience Selous is to use the very comfortable Sable Mountain Lodge just outside of the reserve. Linking time here with time to relax on the coast makes for a wonderful holiday. Saadani has a mixture of wildlife, beach and a little culture.
These two lodges are very well run employing local friendly staff and offer comfort, great food and knowledgeable guides.
Selous has a huge variety of wildlife and is a scenic mix of hills, plains and rivers and Saadani is unique in being the only national park to border the ocean, sleep to the sounds of monkeys and palm trees and watch the sun rise over the Indian Ocean then go on a game drive!
