  Ubicación privilegiada , privacidad y extraordinario servicio

  The Retreat está situado en Upper Selous, al lado del río con unas vistas extraordinarias. El lodge se divide en varias zonas, el edificio principal ( The Fort) donde se encuentran las zonas comunes y la categoría de habitaciones más económicas situadas en lo alto de una colina con unas vistas espectaculares, las River Suites situadas al lado del río y las villas más exclusivas en Hippo Point. Nos alojamos en la River Suites y estuvimos encantados! las villas son preciosas, muy amplias, con una cama comodísima y una terraza enorme con bañera exterior de metal y que parece salida de la época de los exploradores, zona de relax con pequeña piscina para refrescarse, hamaca y cama de día. La parte frontal no tiene pared, sólo tela mosquitera que te permite observar la luna y las estrellas desde la cama y oir todos los sonidos procedentes del río Gran Ruaha que se encuentra a pocos metros de distancia. Es un paraíso de relax! La comida es muy correcta , variada y bien presentada y te preparan las cenas en diferentes espacios súper románticos y nunca repites la misma ubicación durante tu estancia. Muy buen servicio y personal muy atento a los pequeños detalles. Muy amables y profesionales. Tienen servicio de Spa. Los safaris se realizan en vehículos abiertos muy cómodos y los guías son muy profesionalles y serviciales. Nos prepararon un desayuno en la sabana espectacular después de realizar un safari a pie . Los safaris a pie se realizan con un guía y un ranger armado y la mejor hora es salir al amanecer para evitar el calor diurno.

  A must visit

  This property feels like it was the location for the famous movie "out of Africa". The décor and attention to detail in the rooms is very impressive. The location overlooking the river with abundant hippo's is very special. The public area used to be an old WW1 German fort. the staff are really friendly and the game experience memorable. This is real Africa and the setting is worth an Oscar nomination

  fabulous

  we spent three fabulous nights at the Retreat. I was a bit scared when I booked since a couple of reviews were not so positive but I must say I do not know what these poeple are complaining about. The service is excellent, the food, the staff, the tents, the spa, everything. People that complain for the " lack of animals" should have read some information on the reserve first. Of course there are less animals than in Serengeti BUT there are also less tourist and you can enjoy exploring the bush with your guide without crossing any human. A lodge same level as the Retreat in Serengeti or Ngorongoro would cost you the double. Someone complained that there is no safari done at the appropriate time, well we had our safary very early in the morning and late afternoon. Before leaving for the morning safari they would bring us coffee and muffins at 6 am and then we started at 630, coming back around 1030-11 for breakfast. The food was really excellent. One night we had an aperitif and dinner on a sandbank on the river, only us the hyppos and the stars it was AMAZING!!!!

  Perfect honeymoon

  Thank you so much to the Retreat. We have had the most amazing experience. The people are so kind and gracious and the location is truly so extraordinary. Beautiful rooms, beautiful view. A genuine paradise and a real game to find the animals and we saw the big 5 and plenty others. Uma, the owner, has also been wonderful to help us planning our honeymoon and discover Tanzania. Asantesana. Karibu

  Fantastic, true safari in Selous

  We spent 4 nights in a river suite. Very friendly staff, great decoration of the room and a personal butler taking care of you. The retreat is perfectly located at the great Ruhua river and you have all the animals just in front of your location. Hippos, Elepants just passing by, it was just a dream. Excellent guide that took us on safari with the 4 wheel drive, just the 2 of us, we never came across any other vehicles during the 4 days. Walking safari was a nice experience that ended with breakfast in the bush. Sundowner was nicely set at the Hippo point and the spa treatment in our suite was just perfect. We can only highly recommend to spend some days at the retreat in Selous. No to compare with the mass tourism in other parts of Tanzania.
