SELOUS MBEGA CAMP EXTRAS AND SPECIALS NOT FOUND EVERYWHERE

One of the main attractions of staying at the Selous Mbega Camp (Main Camp on the Rufiji River), is that it is located in a Riverine Forest, of which the Selous Mbega Camp owns the largest part of 60 hectares.

The forest is only shared with the Selous River Camp and the Hippo Camp and is the home of a variety of larger and smaller creatures of which some only exist in this forest area, and have become very much used to the peace they get within the Selous Mbega Camp area, making them relatively easy to spot by any visitors to the camp.

Below are a couple of the unique creature characters living in the Riverine Forest, see if you will be able to see them while you stay at the Selous Mbega Camp.
