Spectacular sunsets are chorused by hippos grunting and a plethora of bird song. Selous Game Reserve is dominated by the Great and Sprawling Rufiji River, so what better place to stay than right along the banks.
About The Camp
Rufiji River Camp was redesigned in 2009 to compliment the perfect location on a promontory in the river bank.

Asante sana Rufiji River Camp-Team

A magical place to stay
Rufiji river lodge is an utterly magical place. We couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

Selous Game Reserve is best visited between the months of June and February. The camp is seasonal and closes at the end of March through to the 1st June. The dry season is from June to end October November time and during this period the park dries up and the temperatures increase until the rains break. The rain is heavy but short lived with wonderful clear skies following a downpour. The river fills up and birdlife is supplemented by migrant species.
About the Reserve
