Rufiji River Camp

Set high on the banks of the Rufiji River and bordering the renowned Nyerere National Park, Rufiji River Camp delivers an exceptional safari experience right in the heart of Tanzania’s wilderness. The accommodations strike a perfect balance between comfort and authenticity, featuring classic canvas tents elevated on wooden platforms, each protected by thatched A-frame roofs. Every tent is equipped with a private veranda offering panoramic river views, plush beds, en suite bathrooms with solar-heated hot water, and secure storage for personal belongings.

For those travelling with family or in small groups, the camp offers expansive interconnected suites. These include two bedrooms, a shared lounge deck, and a private plunge pool—providing privacy and exclusivity for discerning guests.

The main area, designed to capitalize on the camp’s prime riverfront location, features an open-sided lounge, a dining room, bar, library, shaded swimming pool, and a fire pit. Each space is crafted to enhance relaxation and maximise the unique views of the surrounding landscape.

Rufiji River Camp’s activities are as diverse as its clientele’s interests: guided game drives, walking safaris, boat excursions, fly-camping, and bush breakfasts are all on offer. The camp is unfenced, so wildlife regularly moves through the property—heightening the authentic safari atmosphere. To ensure guest safety, Maasai staff provide attentive guidance and escort services.

In summary, Rufiji River Camp stands out as an ideal destination for travellers seeking both adventure and comfort, seamlessly blending luxury with the untamed spirit of the African bush.
