Rufiji River Camp

Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania - Classic 4

Rufiji River Camp enjoys the most fabulous position looking over the wide, sprawling waterway. As the first camp in the park, it gained access to the best location, a promontory jutting out into the Rufiji River. The camp has 14 tents individually sited with the length of the tent alongside the river bank. Each tent has an extended and shaded veranda, where guests can relax between game excursions and enjoy the activity always present in and along the river. The double story dining area is positioned perfectly for guests to enjoy meals, drinks, dips in the pool and lounging while watching the stunning sunsets descend over the river.

Accommodation

Rufiji River Camp has 11 classic tents on teak wooden platforms, thatched rooves and ensuite bathrooms, surrounded by a large veranda and seating area.

There are also 3 family suites which include 2 tents on a teak platform with a cooling plunge pool.

Tents are mosquito proof, but nets are hung over the beds and spray is provided. All tents are provided with a fan powered by inverters, allowing them to run all night.

Activities

Game drives are taken in open, adapted 4WD vehicles, which have tiered seating and roof shading. The camp has 2 types of vehicle, with comfortable individual seating for either 4/5 or 6/7.

Rufiji River Camp further offers boating safaris, which are taken meandering along the river and lakes of The Rufiji River in flat bottom boats with roof shading.

Walking safaris are also enjoyed early in the morning, where you learn about the more detailed flora and fauna of the park.
