The camp is located in the Selous Game Reserve, the largest game reserve in Africa and is situated near Lake Manze. On the one hour transit to the camp from Siwandu airstrip, one is introduced to the beautiful plains of Selous and its assorted birds and wildlife. The Lake Manze area is very rich in game, both in the dry and wet season. Doum palms and Terminalia offer shade to the twelve tents which are well spread out and with good views of the lake. Each tent has an en suite bathroom with flush toilet and hot shower and is furnished with twin or double beds. There are solar operated fans. The tents are spacious with a comfortable veranda to watch the animals passing by. One extra single bed can be added to make a triple tent, and also two of the tents can be turned into a family tent with an extra room with twin beds added on the front of the tent in place of the verandah.
Children up to 6 years are not advised to come to Lake Manze because of the proximity of wild animals wandering freely through the camp.
Excursions:
