    The Nyerere butterfly

    At the heart of Africa's largest protected area, the Nyerere National Park (formerly known as Selous), lies an exceptional retreat: Laba Siwandu camp. To get there, allow 40 minutes by light aircraft from Dar es Salaam, before touching down on the shores of Lake Nzerakera, alongside which 13 magnificent tented suites are set out. Each stilted suite offers a living space of around 60m², featuring a contemporary safari style blending leopard print and vibrant shades of green, complete with a splendid copper bathtub on the terrace and a gorgeous open-air zellige tile shower. The diverse biotope of Nyerere offers the exclusive experience of boat safaris, which enrich the more traditional offering of 4x4 and walking safaris. Back at the camp, you will appreciate the breath-taking views of the lake from the main deck swimming pool. Siwandu is one of Nyerere's pioneering lodges and had the honour of hosting Prince Charles and his sons. At Siwandu, you will be entitled to your own private guide and 4x4, so hesitate no longer and treat yourself to a "princely" safari!

    THE EXTRAORDINARY

    Siwandu is a sublime safari camp that has been taken over and wonderfully remodelled by the former owners of Maison du Monde. They have successfully given the former Selous Safari Camp a new identity by bringing a "French touch" while respecting the traditions of the safari and the host country, Tanzania. Safaris are offered on an exclusive basis, giving guests the flexibility to set off at the time of their choice and focus on viewing the animals that inspire their passion.

    ETHICS

    The umbrella brand Laba Laba means butterfly in a Central African dialect. This choice was driven by the idea that butterflies are excellent indicators of the quality of the environment that the owners wish to protect at all costs. To this end, they have implemented a strict policy regarding the management of water, energy, organic products, the recyclable materials used, and local employment. Every guest who stays in one of their camps takes part in the virtuous circle that has been established and in its development.
