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.

Here, too, the chef and his staff deserve at least one star for the delicious food from breakfast to dinner. We went on the river safari with Isaak and Ommar. Hippos and crocodiles give a...

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
Selous Game Reserve, named by Frederick Courtney Selous was declared a World Heritage Site in 1982. The Reserve was initially protected by the German Governor in 1896. It is now one of the largest conservation areas in the World.
About Us
The success of our camps ultimately comes down to our extensive and hands-on experience managing safaris. From the beginning the company has grown from the interests and talents of the family.
