The Selous Safari Company has had a rebrand and is now named Laba Laba – alongside this they have refurbished many of their properties and are truly on the up. A truly immersive Tanzanian experience beckons adventurers to a portfolio of uniquely appointed safari camps in the country’s most remote game-rich wilderness. From boat safaris in Siwandu, to walking safari in Jongomero and contrasting private island stay in the Songo Songo Archipelago, you will discover a different wildlife species every time. LABA LABA means butterfly in Yoruba, their role to increase biodiversity in the African landscape and fauna, treasured and safeguarded in each luxurious tailor-made safari experience. Let’s have a look over all their properties:
LABA JONGOMERO PRIVATE BUSH MANOR
A decadent new addition to the Jongomero Camp in a remote corner of Ruaha National Park, The Private Bush Manor provides a luxurious exclusive-use villa for a group of four to eight guests with spacious living and indulgent tented suites. A magnificent variety of safari experiences create an incredible African adventure, combined with the comforts of authentic cuisine al fresco and relaxation in volcanic hot springs.
LABA JONGOMERO
Home to the greatest elephant population, the remote location of Jongomero in Ruaha National Park is where nature remains vibrant and untouched, meaning the safari experience is in beautiful contrast to the more crowded national parks. Nestling on the seasonal Jongomero River, comforts are luxurious in the stilted tented suites and delicious cuisine is served al fresco in the shade of century-old trees. Indulgent spa and cocktail menus are a further temptation for guests.
LABA MIGRATION CAMP
The new LABA Migration Camp is the most luxurious in the Serengeti, home to the Big Five as well as many other species. Track the great migration in three prime camp locations to witness zebra and wildebeest roaming the Serengeti on a quest for lusher pastures. An authentic mobile safari for up to 22 guests in tented suites offering exceptional space and comfort. After a hot air balloon ride, walking safari or 4×4 adventure, dine under the stars on organic signature dishes and create safari memories of a lifetime.
LABA SIWANDU
An exceptional lakeside safari experience in the Nyerere National Park, Siwandu offers the best of both water and land with all the luxuries that define LABA LABA. The camp’s contrasting habitat engages guests in a magical water experience in bush luxury away from the mainstream tourist circuit. A boat safari unfolds an abundance of aquatic fauna while safaris on foot or by 4 x 4 vehicle bring guests a variety of adventures to fully immerse in this rich African wilderness.
