Overview of Rufiji River Camp
Situated in the north-eastern region of the vast Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve) and overlooking the mighty Rufiji River, this permanent tented camp offers the highest possible level of comfort while remaining close to nature. Ideal for a relaxed safari experience, Rufiji River Camp is situated high on a bank and offers incredible wildlife viewing – even from the individual tents.
Explore the area on 4×4 excursions, walking safaris and a boat trip along the Rufiji River – a definite trip highlight that will bring you to adjoining lakes where hippo, crocodile and 400 species of bird can be observed in the their natural habitat.
The camp itself is powered by solar panels, resulting in a minimal impact on the environment and offers a 270-degree view over the river and the plains beyond.

Africa Safari Expert
The camp is rustic, but its location overlooking the Rufiji River is perfect! Sitting around the fire at night with the sounds of hippos in the river below made the stay very exciting!
