The Lodge

The Retreat Selous

It is the largest protected wildlife sanctuary in Africa and is widely accredited as being the most pristine wilderness.

How to get there

Sumbazi airstrip, 30 minutes drive from the lodge, is served by several airlines, notably daily scheduled flights (charters also available), from Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam, Arusha and Ruaha.

From Dar es Salaam, a 70-minute flight is operated comfortably and efficiently by several airlines.

The private guide of The Retreat will provide a special meet and greet service at Sumbazi airstrip and transfer the guests often in combination with the first exciting game drive to the lodge.
