		THE SELOUS MBEGA CAMP IS CHANGING ITS LOOK. The SELOUS MBEGA CAMP, set up along the mighty Rufiji River. Just 500 meters away from the border of the Selous Game Reserve, in its own private 60 ha riverine forest reserve. A green ceiling of tree branches and leaves, providing almost always shade throughout the day, covers the camp area.
	These trees are sometimes visited by a variety of monkeys, including the Angolan Black & White Colobus monkey, known in Kiswahili as Mbega mweupe, or Mbega, to which the camp owes its name. The Restaurant and Bar are situated under a palm leave thatched roof around a Mahogany tree, facing the Rufiji River. The kitchen provides a variety of different cuisines or so called "Bush Recipes" The “New” Camp will feature a deck area next to a swimming pool.
		THE “ORIGINAL” CAMPS IDEA OF TENTS WILL HOWEVER STILL CONTINUE TO BE OPERATED AS WELL IN THE FORM OF SATELLITE CAMPS TO THE SELOUS MBEGA CAMP. THE SATELLITE CAMPS WILL BE FEATURED ON THE ORIGINAL CAMP PAGE ON THIS WEBSITE WHEN THEY START TO OPERATE IN 2009. The camp also has: A “Dungu” (view tower) over a seasonal waterhole.
	The accommodation at Selous Mbega Camp in the “Original Camp” is in large safari tents, built on wooden platforms, mosquito & insect proof, with en- suite bathrooms, and a verandah. Ten of our tents have a magnificent view over the Rufiji River. Two look at a dried out waterhole at the rear of the camp, with some animal or bird activity during day and especially at night. The “New” Camps first cottage and apartment has been built since September 2007. It has been named the “Colobus House” and is the first of another four such houses.
	The cottage rooms are mosquito & insect proof, with en- suite bathrooms and verandah. A lawn area with a park bench and a view over the Rufiji River. The apartment is a special design, split up into a large balcony with a magnificent view over the Rufiji River, a living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. In the “New” Camp there will be a total of eight cottage rooms, as well as four apartments. Construction of the camp was commenced on the 31st of January 2000 by its owners & seven Tanzanian staff. Owners of the camp & their staff have been operating smaller fly- camps within the Selous Game Reserve & Southern Tanzania since 1997. But have been involved within the Selous Game Reserve since 1994. The aim is to provide the exotic African atmosphere, offering mainly small camps at locations that truly function as an exciting adventure tourist destination. Continuing with the tradition of the old "Hunter Camps" of the past in the new role of "Photographic Hunting". At SELOUS MBEGA CAMP pride themselves in being a small and personal “family” camp
		GAME DRIVES: This is the classic style of Safari exploring the bush. Our vehicles are specially designed open 4 x 4. Equipped with Radio Calls & other features to make your trip as comfortable as possible. In this safari it is possible to cover the largest area in a short time, increasing the chances of seeing a variety of animals & sights. Game Drives can also be tailored to be done over a half day or a full day including packed lunch in the bush.
	The vehicles used at the camp are: 2x Open Safari special Land Rover 110. Seating 6 luxury up to 10 persons. 1x Open Safari special Tempo Trax. Seating 6 luxury up to 10 persons. 1x Open Safari special Mercedes Unimog. Seating 9 or 10 persons. 1x Semi open/ semi closed Toyota Double Cabin Hilux. Seating 2 or 3 persons open and/or 2 to 3 persons closed. 4 to 6 persons total
		WALKING SAFARIS: There can be little to compare with a walk in the bush. The sights and sounds (and smells!) of a walking safari will long live in the memory. The thrill of creeping up to animals and then to "shoot" the animal not with a gun but with your camera, is a great experience. On a Walking safari, you are accompanied at all times by an expert tracker or guide. Walking safaris can be tailored to a persons wish, as distances and temperature are to be considered for each person. Walks do not cover, as much distance as drives, so one may not see as many animals. But a walking safari takes interest into smaller things, such as birds, bugs, trees, flowers or tracks. Although you may come across bigger Game as well.
	BOAT SAFARIS: Exploring the different channels and lakes of the Rufiji River system, surrounded by hippos and crocodiles, is an experience of a lifetime. On boat safaris one will also be able to do a lot of "water birding". A large variety of herons, storks, ducks, stilts & other water birds may seen and observed. NOTE: For all the above mentioned safaris: Specific Bird Watching for the Ornithologist can be arranged on this safari.
		There are more than 400 different species of birds recorded in the Selous. If you wish to do an ONLY Bird Watching safari please inform us so we can arrange a separate safari for you if resources permit us too. FISHING TRIP: Fishing on the Rufiji River can also be arranged. There are plenty of interesting fish to catch, such as the Big Catfish or Vundu, maybe you can beat the Selous Game Reserve record of 49 KG. Or Tigerfish, or just the small Squeckers.
	HOT SPRINGS & SELOUS GRAVE: There are several Hot Springs or "Maji Moto" as they are called in Kiswaheli, hidden within the Beho Beho Hills and surroundings in the Selous Game Reserve. Some of these Hot springs are easy to reach by vehicle or by a small walk into a ravine surrounded by lush vegetation. Hot sulphurous water flows from the rocks, pours down the mountain in little streams forming a series of picturesque pools. A Hot Spring like this one has been the source of that legendary water which was supposed to have made the warriors of the 1905 "Maji Maji" uprising invulnerable against the bullets of the German colonial troops. On the way to the Hot Springs one will pass the Grave of Frederic Courtney Selous, a naturalist, explorer, hunter and soldier, who was killed in 1917, during World War One near the Beho Beho Hills. Along the entire safari one will be able to watch game as well.
		VILLAGE TRIP: Visit a local village on the outskirts of the Selous Game Reserve, and walk around on the farms, seeing the different crops planted by the villagers in this area, and maybe even the difficulties of running a small farm near a Game Reserve. On the village trip we also visit the local school and may be invited into local homes as well as join into village dances if they are being held as well as the odd football match might be visited.
