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. The tented safari camp along the river bank blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Wildlife roams around our unfenced grounds, meaning that your safari doesn't end after a game drive. Our trained Maasai guides are always on hand to escort you around the camp between your tents, the swimming pool, and the riverbank where all the action unfolds.
