Selous Game Reserve

Lukula Selous is a private photographic sanctuary of over 300,000 acres where only one group of guests is permitted into the entire area at any given time. The group may be an individual, a couple, a family or a private group of friends or colleagues, up to a maximum of eight people, with no age limits. We only host guests for five months of the year, from July through November, during the dry season when the animals concentrate along the waterways that meander through this sector of the Reserve.

Privacy and complete freedom capture the spirit of Lukula Selous. Select, small groups and individuals have the opportunity to explore this wilderness in complete privacy and with complete freedom under expert guidance only. The minimum stay is four nights, but if guests wish to enjoy longer canoeing safaris and camp-outs with an authentic 'portered' fly camp to explore the different sectors of the area, we recommend longer stays of up to one week or more.

Lukula Selous boasts a diverse habitat ranging from open flood plains interspersed with dense riparian forests that border the Lukula, Luwegu and Chi rivers, to open savanna, which recedes to forested, rolling hills and steep ridges of exposed rock. A landscape seldom visited and unchanged by man, rich in wildlife and spectacular with nature.
