Escape to Rufiji River Camp, where comfort meets the untamed wilderness of Southern Tanzania. Awake to a symphony of the African bush – the Rufiji River in flow, elephant trumpeting, black and white colobus monkeys swinging in the treetops, and a chorus of some 440 bird species – before embarking on a wildlife safari. Perhaps you’ll see the world’s largest population of endangered African Wild Dog in this ‘Big Five’ national park. Welcome to Africa’s biggest conservation area. We call this UNESCO World Heritage Site home.
Rufiji River Camp
With unparalleled access to the Rufiji River, our intimate camp, right on the riverbank, offers front-row seats to everything that epitomises a safari in Tanzania – elephant cooling down in the water, hippo snorting, crocodile basking in the sun, and birds flitting through the trees. As it is located a short distance from Mtemere airstrip, Rufiji River Camp offers a seamless transition from your Safari Air Link flight right into the wilderness.

Asante sana Rufiji River Camp-Team
The gentle reader would like to find my review for Vuma Hills Tented Camp by Fox-Safari, but written in English. I would like to thank the Rufiji team for the friendly and helpful service.

A magical place to stay
Rufiji river lodge is an utterly magical place. We couldn’t recommend it highly enough. The lodge offers daily activities, ranging from walks, boat trips and drives - all of which are amazing ways to see the animals. The staff are kind and helpful, and incredibly knowledgable about all of the wildlife. During our three day stay we saw (amongst many others) elephants, giraffes, crocodiles, painted dogs, buffalo, impala, zebra,... Read this review

For the best game viewing, visit Rufiji River Camp during the dry season, from June to late October. Temperatures drop as the landscape dries and wildlife congregates along the Rufiji River, offering incredible sightings. The short rains, from November to December, sees the river swell and brings the magic of young animals and migrant birdlife, with short-lived showers giving way to clear skies. Our tented camp closes temporarily during the long rainy season from late March to early June.
