Rufiji River Camp
Watching animals on the picturesque riverbank
Rufiji River Camp is located directly on the Rufiji River on a headland. The banks of the river are home to numerous animals, which can even be observed from your own tent. The camp’s location also makes it an ideal starting point for safaris in Nyerere National Park.
The tented camp is located in Nyerere National Park in the east of Tanzania. Situated slightly elevated on a headland on the banks of the Rufiji River, it is ideal for game viewing. The river is home to x different species: from crocodiles sunbathing on sandbanks to hippos grunting and splashing around before sunset. The forest area around Rufiji River Camp is also home to monkeys and up to 400 bird species. Nyerere National Park is also home to Tanzania’s largest elephant population.


The architecture of Rufiji River Camp combines local cobblestones, hardwoods and palm roofs to create a natural unit. The facility was redesigned in 2009 and is powered exclusively by solar energy. Harmoniously embedded in nature, it offers its guests simple yet comfortable accommodation with full board.

The central area of the camp is spacious and offers a view of the Rufiji River. A fresh, light breakfast is served in the morning in the restaurant, which is located in the middle of the complex. For lunch, guests can enjoy a buffet, while dinner consists of a three-course menu. After an impressive safari experience in Nyerere National Park, a small swimming pool under the trees provides refreshment. In the evening, guests can sit comfortably outside by a fire pit. A bar with WiFi and the small library also promise relaxing moments.

Guests can spend the night in eleven lovingly furnished tents, all equipped with a shower, toilet and mosquito nets. Each tent has a veranda with a view of the river. It promises impressive game viewing even from the privacy of the tent. In addition to the eleven classic tents, there are three tent suites, each consisting of two bedrooms and a bathroom. They are suitable for families or small groups – and tempt you to take a dip in the small private plunge pool, which each of the tent suites has.
