SELOUS IMPALA CAMP LOCATION
Selous Impala Camp is a half hour game drive from Mtemere Airstrip.
It lies between the Rufiji river Camp and the Selous Safari Camp, on the banks of the mighty Rufiji River.
Getting there
Flights are available two or three times a day from Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar and from Arusha, Manyara and Ruaha with Coastal Aviation, to Mtemere Airstrip in the Selous Game Reserve.
Road access is via Kibiti, Mikumi or Morogoro and is difficult and lengthy but may be fun for the adventurous.
If you are driving in from Dar es Salaam the quickest and shortest way is from the north east via Mtemere Gate. Take the Kilwa road out of Dar. The road is good for about 120-130 km's then there is a small stretch which is extremely bad of about 20 kms or less. This is being tarred presently so soon it will be finished all the way to Kibiti, where you turn off the Kilwa road in a south westerly direction, for Selous. There is only one turn on the road, after the petrol station. After that there are signs to Selous Game Reserve and Mtemere Gate. The journey should take about 3 hours Dar-Kibiti and another 3 hours Kibiti-Mtemere. It is also possible to drive in from Morogoro via Matambwe, and from Mikumi via Udzungwa, but this takes much longer.
Selous Impala Camp is about a half hour drive on from Mtemere Gate - ask at the gate for instructions, or follow the signs.Road Distances:
