Rufiji River Camp
My Safari
You can be certain of a warm welcome at the delightful Rufiji River Camp, set along the bank of the Rufiji River in the heart of the Selous Game Reserve.
Rufiji River Camp has 20 tents all with en-suite facilities set under makuti roofs and with shady verandas facing the Rufiji River so that you can sit and watch the daily flow of animals coming down to the river to drink, or just enjoy relaxing in the heat of the day.
There is a lovely bar/lounge where you can relax and watch the activity on the river, and a dining area where meals are mainly buffet style and offer a varied international menu of tasty and wholesome food. There is also a small library with reference books. There is also a separate covered swimming pool with sun loungers where you can cool down in the afternoon between game drives.
On offer at Rufiji River Camp are boat trips, morning and afternoon game drives and all day game drives in comfortable 4x4 safari vehicles. Guided walks are also available in the surrounding area accompanied by a ranger allowing you to experience the bush on foot.

Recently taken over by the Foxes Safaris company, they had actually felt that it was in need of some upgrading. We thought that it was just fine - a feeling accentuated by the absolutely overwhelming friendliness (and happiness) of the staff: wonderfully smiling faces everywhere.
We Remember:
Having breakfast whilst watching the cheeky antics of the vervet monkeys playing just in front of the dining area. Wildlife on your doorstep.
Guests Comments:
This was our first time on safari and we loved it. The tent was fun, fine for what we needed. The new boss had taken over three days before and the food was incredidible. Our guides were great as were the maasai.
Amazing safari destination. Breathtaking views of the river, a multitude of hippos wallowing there. Attentive staff, great service and the Maasai always on hand for safe escort to our tent. Guide and driver brilliant, saw everything we wanted to see.
The food here was excellent and the staff went out of their way to make you feel comfortable.
