Philosophy

Passionate for the preservation of threatened wilderness and wildlife, fragile communities and the environment as a whole, our mission has been realized here in Selous Game Reserve on the shores of mighty river Ruaha in absolute seclusion. But also to make the “authentic" Africa perceivable for guests and friends has always been the idea of The Retreat’s owner and founder, a Swiss doctor who has been living and working in Tanzania for more than 20 years.

The Retreat takes guests on a journey that blends the soul with nature and untamed wildlife and tailors each day according to individual pace and needs, whether pioneering adventure, increase awareness or just to relax & absorb the stunning surroundings.

Careful attention has been given to detail, the integration of locally sourced products and an ambience that is deeply rooted in Africa, touched by the numerous cultural influences of the centuries in combination with principles of Feng Shui and the Five Elements.

Various themes like Adventure, Awareness, Romance in Africa, Family Delight or The Spiritual Retreat open doors to an individual discovery and touch of Africa. Feel peace and space, adventure and our passion. Learn about untouched ecosystems and our commitment to conservation of Selous and by staying with us, help to ensure that our work continues and that our passion is shared a little further.
