Selous Bush Camp

In association with KIYODEA, a local Tanzanian NGO based in Kilwa Masoko, we have established a bush camapsite within the buffer zone of the Selous Game Reserve.



Being situated within the buffer zone of this great conservation area means that human / animal interaction are common within the villages. The villagers have problems with elephants and baboons destroying and raiding crops and they share Lake Maliwe with a large population of hippos and crocodiles.



In 2012 construction began on a simple camping facility at the lake shore as a self sustainable means of income for the local villagers. The construction was funded by Kilwa Beach Lodge through KIYODEA and the villagers setup a NGO to handle the finances. The charges levied by the villagers are put towards fundraising targets to help the local area.



These targets include:
​

  • Crop protection measures
  • Human / Wildlife interaction investigations
  • Medical aid for the local dispensary and ward clinic
  • Educational equipment for local schools
  • Water provision for the village through a new borehole.


We encourage all guests on a trip to Kilwa Beach Lodge to visit the beautiful lake-shore and to help the local community.
