We stayed here for 3 nights in September as the last leg of our trip (the other two lodges were Lamai Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater Lodge.) We decided to stay here because of the variety of activities offered which were different from what's available in many other places. Namely, boat safaris and walking tours. The lodge itself is in a... More

If paradise exists the I can only say that management of this fabulous Nomad camp tries to bring it to you out here. You can really feel that it is a steady team in this camp, working together already for a couple of years. The management though was quite new, but experienced in business. There were some misunderstandings during our... More

My 26 yo daughter and I stayed here for 3 nights on our recent tour of Tanzania. This is a tastefully classy place. Beautiful setting, right on a major bend in the Rafiji River. Our hut (#3) had a great view up the river, with hippos right outside our door - yes they do make noise! After spending 3 nights... More

We stayed at Sand Rivers as part of our trip to Katavi and Mahale, and this camp pales by comparison in terms of its ambience. The camp accommodates similar number of guests but it actually felt crowded. The rooms, although quite nice, are very close to each other and we could hear people talking next door. For wildlife... the morning... More

We spent 3 nights and had a wonderful safari experience here. We were met at the landing strip by Frank, who was to be our guide during our stay. We had him all to ourselves and he turned out to be an extraordinarily knowledgeable guide with an excellent sense for the extraordinary. To us city dwellers a few birds flying... More

Imagine Africa organised a fantastic holiday for myself and my husband which included an amazing 3 days safari staying at Sand Rivers, Selous. Chloe, the lodge manager, was amazing as were all the staff at the lodge.They made you feel very special and welcome. The food was amazing and we ate together with the other guests on a large table... More

Stayed here for 3 nights on honeymoon. The camp is beautifully situated with fantastic views over the Rufiji River and our room, a suite, was spectacular. Spending the middle of the day, between safari activities, on the deck of our suite watching and listening to the hippos whilst taking dips in the plunge pool is hard to beat. Compared to... More

We loved everything about Sand River from its location to the staff, especially Chloe (Mark was away), the food and the choice of activities. The highlight for us was the fly camping and the walk back to camp - a wonderful experience. I cannot recommend the lodge highly enough. Game viewing was a little disappointing but this seems to be... More

We came to Sands River as the first stop on our sadly just ended trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar . arriving off the overnight LHR to Dar flight, we took the 40minute hop to the Selous and were picked up by our guide to be Lazaro in a rather beautiful land rover replete with wooden trim and driven back to...
