Mila Tented Camp is a beautifully crafted luxury safari retreat located in the remote and wild Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve) in southern Tanzania. Designed with a blend of East African elegance and eco-conscious ethos, the camp immerses guests in the untamed beauty of the African wilderness. It offers an ideal setting for travelers looking to escape the crowds and experience an authentic, off the beaten path safari.
The camp features a collection of stylish canvas tents that open up to expansive views of the surrounding landscape. Each tent is thoughtfully positioned for privacy and game viewing opportunities right from your deck. Interiors are spacious and warm, with handpicked decor, wooden furnishings, and solar-powered comforts. Wildlife roams freely around camp, and it’s not unusual to spot elephants, lions, or buffaloes nearby, especially during early mornings or just before dusk.
Mila Tented Camp is also known for its personalized and flexible approach to safari. With expert guides leading custom tailored game drives, walking safaris, and river safaris, guests get a deep connection to the land and its wildlife. The camp also supports conservation efforts and community partnerships, adding a meaningful dimension to the experience.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Mila Tented Camp is during the dry season from June to October. Wildlife is more concentrated around rivers and waterholes, making sightings more frequent and rewarding. However, the green season from November to March brings lush scenery and excellent birding, with fewer tourists and dramatic skies perfect for photography. The camp typically closes during the long rains in April and May.
How to Get There
By Air
The easiest way to reach Mila Tented Camp is by taking a scheduled flight from Dar es Salaam to Beho Beho Airstrip or Siwandu Airstrip, depending on weather and routing. From the airstrip, the camp is a 45 to 90 minute scenic game drive through the reserve.
By Road
Due to the park’s remote location, driving is not commonly recommended unless you’re on a guided overland safari. It can take up to 8 hours from Dar es Salaam and is best done over multiple days as part of a longer southern Tanzania circuit.
