Activities at Rufiji River Camp

Activities on offer include boat trips for game viewing along the Rufiji River. Those who experience this safari can verify the fact that this river, with its lakes and canals, boasts Africa's highest concentration of hippo, as well as masses of crocodiles and over 400 bird species. Land activities include game drives conducted in open 4x4 vehicles with a sun shade roof and bush walks.

For a real “get-away-from-it-all” experience try the fly camping option. This is a private camp in the bush, sleeping in dome tents and using a bucket shower. The fly camp has its own host, chef and guide.
