Laba Siwandu: The Art of Slow Safari in Nyerere National Park

Where the Wild Meets the Refined
Most safari destinations offer a glimpse of Africa. At Laba Siwandu, we offer a connection to it. Located in the heart of the UNESCO-protected Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous), Siwandu is not just a camp—it is an intimate front-row seat to the greatest rhythm on Earth.

The Luxury of Space: Your Private Sanctuary
In the psychology of luxury, true wealth is privacy and space. Siwandu is designed to make you feel like the only person in the wild.
  • Palatial Tentated Suites: Our octagonal canvas pavilions are spaced widely apart along the shores of Lake Nzerakera. With cooling breezes and 360-degree views, you aren’t just near the bush; you are part of it.
  • The Veranda Experience: Each suite features a sprawling private deck. It’s the perfect place for “The Slow Look”—watching an elephant herd cross the water while you enjoy your morning espresso.
  • En-Suite Sophistication: Experience the romance of the tropics with outdoor showers under the stars and brass fixtures that evoke the golden age of exploration.
An Unrivaled Location: The Lifeline of the Selous
Location is the ultimate luxury. Siwandu is strategically positioned on the shores of Lake Nzerakera, a magnet for wildlife.
  • Water-Based Wonders: Unlike land-locked camps, we offer boat safaris. This allows you to drift inches away from pods of hippos and basking crocodiles without the noise of an engine.
  • The Big Five & Beyond: Nyerere is home to one of the largest populations of African Wild Dogs in the world. From the comfort of our open-sided 4x4s, you will witness lions, leopards, and giraffes in a landscape that remains blissfully uncrowded.
  • The Sound of Silence: Because we are deep within the park, there is no light pollution and no city noise—only the haunting call of the Fish Eagle and the evening grunt of the hippos.
The Soul of Siwandu: Our People
A beautiful room is nothing without a warm welcome. At Laba Siwandu, our staff are the heartbeat of the experience.
“You arrive as a guest, but you leave as part of the Siwandu family.”
  • Genuine Tanzanian Hospitality: Our team doesn’t just provide service; they provide care. From the chef who remembers your favorite spice to the guide who tracks a leopard by the snap of a twig, our staff’s intuition is our greatest amenity.
  • Expert Storytellers: Our guides are more than spotters; they are naturalists who translate the language of the bush, ensuring every game drive is an educational journey, not just a photo op.
Why Choose Laba Siwandu?
We understand that an African Safari is a “once-in-a-lifetime” investment. We honor that by focusing on:
  1. Exclusivity: Low guest density means no “traffic jams” at sightings.
  2. Sustainability: We operate with a deep respect for the ecosystem, ensuring your stay preserves Africa for generations.
  3. Bespoke Pacing: Whether you want an adrenaline-fueled walking safari or a champagne sunset on the lake, we curate the day to your heartbeat.
