ONE OF THE BEST SAFARI CAMPS IN NYERERE NATIONAL PARK
Hidden in the north-west area of Nyerere National Park (previously known as Selous Game Reserve) and overlooking the Rufiji River lies the luxury safari lodge of Sand Rivers. Founded by the well-known wildlife conservationist, Richard Bonham, and now operated by Nomad, Sand Rivers Camp has cemented itself as one of Tanzania’s best safari camps. A stay at Sand Rivers Camp promises its guests a spectacular Tanzania safari experience amidst the unspoilt wilderness of one of the largest National Parks in Africa.
Stay in one of Sand River’s five spacious open-fronted cottages with sweeping views across the river and beyond, or one of the three Hillside Suites, all of which have their own private plunge pool. Each of the rooms have a large en-suite bathroom with flush toilets, powerful showers and exquisite views.
From game drives along the shores of Lake Tagalala to bush walks across Nyerere’s plains to motorboat trips up to Stiegler’s Gorge, Sand Rivers offers plenty of opportunities to immerse yourself in the wondrous African wildlife. When you are not exploring, watch the wildlife pass you by from the comfort of your room or pool.

A hugely enjoyable nine-day trip, expertly organised from start to finish. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see and do, with excellent guides, drivers and seamless logistics throughout. The documentation was clear and helpful, and the London office was consistently responsive, knowledgeable and efficient.
From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
