There are a number of places where tourists who would rather stay outside the park can go near the Mtemere Gate, in Mloka village and in other adjacent communities.

Luxury travelers have the option of selecting a number of exclusive properties such as Sand Rivers Selous, Beho Beho, Siwandu and Roho ya Selous, the main draw at these places being comfort, privacy and personalized safari experiences.

People on a budget might look at camps and lodges near the park's entrances, especially those near Mtemere and Mloka, or go for an organized camping safari in order to have a more inexpensive and adventurous experience.
