Set on the banks of the Rufiji River
A wonderful place to feel at home in the bush
Kiba Point Camp is located in the Selous Game Reserve, and is a totally exclusive little retreat in the heart of one of the most game-rich areas. Downstream from Sand Rivers Selous, this is ideal for groups of friends and/or families.
The lodge is set back off the river with only four impressively large and open-fronted rooms. Bathrooms are bush deluxe with flush toilets, indoor, and outdoor showers and hot and cold water as and when you want. Each room has its own plunge pool set into the edge of the deck and there is also a large pool at the main thatched mess where you can also sink into comfortable sofas and chairs for an afternoon of general laziness.
Activities include vehicle, motorboat walking safari, bush meals and swimming in hot springs. All of these are carried out privately in your own vehicle and with your own dedicated guide. You may also arrange an exciting night of fly camping from Kiba Point.

January
January is mixed when it comes to weather, temperatures rise whilst the chance of rain and humidity increases. It is still a good time to go, as the rates are lower yet the game viewing is still excellent.
- During this time migratory herds are in the Serengeti for calving season, meaning the Ndutu plains are busy.
February
The weather remains hot with a chance of rain in February.
- Meanwhile in the Ndutu Plains the migration is still occurring.
March
March is the calm before the storm, before heavy rains and humidity builds. Visitors can take great advantage of lower rates during the low season.
- Migrating herds start to leave Ndutu, heading West towards Grumeti.
April
April experiences continued periods of heavy rain, we would advise against travel due to the conditions.
May
During may there is periods of heavy rain, we would advise against travel due to the conditions.
June
June heralds the wet season, bringing lush green vegetation which can make spotting game more difficult. It is a particularly great time for birders as parks become populated by migratory birds especially in the South.

July
July is the start of peak season, temperatures reach up to 30 degrees and the surrounding land becomes drier and spotting game is becoming easier.
- The migration is in the Northern Serengeti moving towards Kenya.

August is peak season, with bush land drying out game spotting becomes much easier. If you want to experience Tanzania game at its best, August is the time to travel.
- The migration still remains in the north.
September
Peak season continues in September, the Northern circuit can be very busy, if you want to avoid crowds it's best to visit the southern parks.

October
Peak season continues into October with good game viewing in the Serengeti and southern parks.
- The migration has now crossed over into Kenya.

December
Rains continue in December, whilst the temperature and humidity start to build. Venturing out on safari is generally good, with large game still easily spotted.
