Laba Siwandu offers an exclusive safari experience far from the traditional tourist circuit. Formerly part of the legendary Selous Game Reserve, this vast wilderness is one of the few places in Tanzania where classic game drives, walking safaris, and water-based safari adventures come together in one extraordinary destination.

Beautifully sheltered beneath a grove of palms, the lodge features ten stylish tented suites set on raised wooden decks beneath traditional Makuti thatched roofs. Each spacious tent includes a private deck with a daybed overlooking the surrounding wilderness, creating the perfect place to relax between safari activities. Natural materials, organic linens, bathrobes, and eco-friendly bathroom amenities reflect the lodge’s understated luxury and connection to nature.

Laba Siwandu’s highlights include its secluded lakeside setting, prolific wildlife, exceptional natural beauty, and the unique Thermal Bush Spa hidden deep in the wilderness. Guests can enjoy morning and afternoon game drives with private guides, walking safaris, boat safaris, bush breakfasts and sundowners, pontoon boat cruises, night drives, and catch-and-release fishing. Wildlife sightings regularly include elephants, buffalo, lions, leopards, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, abundant birdlife, and the elusive African wild dog.
