SIWANDU
Immerse oneself in unspoilt nature
Offering an intimate, uninterrupted bush experience, Siwandu is perfect for forgetting all the troubles of the modern world and immersing oneself in unspoilt nature, with just the right amount of bush luxury.
The Siwandu camp is located in Nyerere National Park, which is the largest and oldest national park found in Africa (formerly the Selous Game Reserve).
The Siwandu camp can be reached by light aircraft – around 45 minutes from Dar es Salam – or by 4 x 4 vehicle – around 1h20 from Jongomero.
Siwandu was the first camp to be built in the Nyerere. Even royal guests, both past and present, have experienced its majestic charm.
If Jongomero is unique thanks to its special location and exclusive safari opportunities, Siwandu is a different style of habitat that is equally charming. It also offers another exceptional safari experience. That is, the boat safari and all about the water experiences.
A boat safari will introduce you to another type of wildlife, that of the aquatic environment, lakes and rivers with their high concentration of crocodiles, hippos, elephants, waterbucks, fish eagles, water birds…
Nyerere is home to over 2,100 species of plant, over 400 varieties of bird, more than half of Tanzania’s elephant population and over 120,000 buffalo. The park’s 40,000 hippos and 4,000 lions are probably the largest populations on the continent, not to mention being home to the largest population of rare wild dogs on the planet. This splendor offers visitors a rare opportunity to see all these animals in a truly unspoilt landscape.
