Roho ya Selous is a luxury tented lodge located on the western shores of Lake Nzerakera in the heart of the northern game viewing section of the Nyerere National Park.
Roho ya Selous is a great option for travellers looking to combine an exclusive, upmarket lodge atmosphere with a close to nature, tented bush experience in the Nyerere.
