Rufiji River Camp was redesigned in 2009 to compliment the perfect location on a promontory in the river bank. Built by local craftsmen, the Camp combines Makuti palm roofs with Selous sourced paving stones and farmed hard woods to create a beautiful and comfortable accommodation from which to enjoy the Selous Game Reserve. The shaded swimming pool is a great way to cool off between safari activities.
Spectacular sunsets are chorused by hippos grunting and a plethora of bird song. Selous Game Reserve is dominated by the Great and Sprawling Rufiji River, so what better place to stay than right along the banks.
Located on the Rufiji River, the camp offers boat safaris that provide a rare opportunity to view wildlife from the water. Guests can witness hippos, crocodiles, and numerous bird species in their natural aquatic environment. The river safari is especially enchanting during sunset, when the golden light reflects off the water, creating a breathtaking ambiance. It’s a peaceful, yet thrilling way to experience the unique ecosystem of the river.
This immersive experience allows guests to explore the natural beauty of Nyerere National Park on foot, guided by experienced rangers. Walks offer an intimate encounter with diverse wildlife, including giraffes, elephants, and various bird species, while learning about their habits and habitats. It’s a chance to appreciate the small details of the ecosystem, from insect tracks to plant life, that are often missed during traditional vehicle safaris.
The camp’s classic tents combine comfort with an authentic safari atmosphere. Each tent is strategically positioned for privacy and stunning river views, allowing guests to enjoy sunsets and wildlife sounds from the comfort of their rooms. Equipped with essential amenities, these tents maintain a rustic charm while providing an immersive experience. The spacious layouts and eco-friendly design create a harmonious blend of nature and comfort.
