Rufiji River Camp
Rufiji River Camp in the Selous Game Reserve, enjoys a wonderful position overlooking The Rufiji River, which is a sprawling waterway with 5 distinctive ‘lakes’ all joined together with a myriad of channels. This is the only game area in Tanzania to offer a safari on the river. The camp has 14 tents individually sited with the length of the tent alongside the river bank. 3 of these are family suites with 2 tents on a shared platform. Each tent has an extended and shaded veranda, where you can relax between game excursions and enjoy the activity always present in and along the river. All have en suite bathroom facilities, and are mosquito-proof. Power is available for lighting and recharging batteries but not for hairdryers. Special diets can be catered for with prior notification. Whilst staying at Rufiji River Camp you are accompanied by the camp’s guides on boating safaris and game drives in open, adapted vehicles. Walking safaris are conducted by armed rangers. |
