The Camp
Rufiji River Camp is located on the banks of the Rufiji river, in a point where the ample and tranquil river is animated by many and different species of animals.

Overview
There is a constant flow of animals coming down to drink at the river offering a permanent show to visitors of the camp. The water is usually full of hundreds of hippos as well as groups of crocodiles that laze in the sun on the sandbanks in the river.
A structure in the central part of the camp hosts the restaurant, bar and library, all with a view of the river and the sunset. All of the camp structures, kitchen included, are constantly renovated, attaining the highest level of comfort without sacrificing the emotion of a total immersion in a completely natural environment. Electricity and hot water are powered by solar panels, while UHV-filtered drinking water is available throughout camp (including tents).
A covered swimming pool is situated in the camp, between reception and mess area. Rufiji River Camp is operated by Foxes Safari Camps and the camp management very much look forward to welcoming you at Rufiji River Camp.
The programme of excursions is decided once at the camp, between the clients and the Camp Manager. A few factors have to be considered, like the state of the roads in the Reserve, the level of water on the river, the presence of animals around the camp, etc, and for these reasons a schedule cannot be given in advance, at the moment of the booking.
Our fly camp is situated about 45 minutes drive from the main Camp on the shore of Lake Mzizimia. The name fly camp has nothing to do with insects but more with the English phrase "fly by night", which refers to anything that is temporary. Here today and over-night it can fly away.
It offers the possibility to spend some time in very close proximity to the bush in a very personal environment. Whereas the main camp is not large, with a maximum capacity of 40 clients, the fly camp can give that degree of exclusivity accommodating two to six clients with advised stay duration of at least two nights.
The Selous Game reserve, the largest nature reserve in Africa (and the second largest in the World) abounds in open space and liberty: fifty-five thousand square kilometers that enjoy the most unreserved luxury that one can dream of a rich and constant river. The Rufiji River brings water and life throughout the year, creating this pristine paradise that everyone of us carries in our hearts: an inviolate space that man cannot destroy. Man, in fact, is admitted to the Selous Game Reserve in tiny does and only as a grateful and respectful guest. In the entire reserve only a few camps are permitted, with a low daily reception capacity.
