I absolutely loved Amara Selous! I went with a couple other girls and my friend's mother. We had so much fun on the game drives and when we got back someone was always available to help us if we needed anything. In between the many excursions we had plenty of time to relax in the nice cool waters of our... More

The perfect place to spend a real African vacation, beautifully located on the Ruaha River filled with hippos who serenade you every night, luxury tented accommodation,professional staff who love pampering you, delicious home-cooked food, exciting drives through the African bush with its wildlife....definitely recommended!

As a group of friends who enjoy the finer things in life we chose to go spoil our selves at this wonderful camp in the Selous. The staff were friendly the service impecable, and the rooms a pleasure. It's a definate must go back!!

Situated right on the bank of the Ruaha River, this is a fantastic piece of African bush with great views of the river from the central lodge and the well located rooms. Coupled with high service levels and the personal attention of the camp managers, it makes for a very relaxing and enjoyable experience.

We are based in Dar es Salaam and we were looking for a relaxing safari trip for two nights to celebrate my birthday. Amara was the right choice. The lodge is quiet, peaceful, very relaxing indeed. The only sounds that you hear are the river passing by, the yawning of the hippos and the birds. You most probably will encounter... More

From start to finish attention to detail was second to non, even down to the all important memory card for my camera, provided with such ease and kindness, because I'd forgotten mine. A very knowledgable friendly team, who go out of their way to make your stay one to remember. A truly african experience, with the unusual for us enthusiastically... More

I decided at the last minute to take a weeks break from the hectic life of London, and head out to Tanzania over New Years. Upon Landing in Dar Es Salaam, I felt I had swapped hectic London traffic for even more hectic chaotic traffic in Dar Es Salaam, as I was heading to my over night hotel in Dar.... More

While we travel a great deal & frequently check TripAdvisor for property reviews, we have NEVER felt compelled to write a review of our own... until now. The Amara deserves the recognition beyond any of the 5 star hotels and resorts we've ever stayed at worldwide (which are quite a few). The Amara is an undiscovered gem, which undoubtedly won't...

We had an outstanding experience at Amara Selous, I honestly cannot find anything to complain about or suggest any improvements. The location is right on the river so you are constantly rewarded with animals coming down to drink and eat by the river. You also have huge families of hippos and a couple of crocs in front of you.
