Rufiji River Camp is located on the banks of the Rufiji River and was built by local craftsmen combining Makuti palm roofs and locally sourced paving stones. The tented camp is environmentally friendly and offers 11 classic tents and 3 suites that are well-spaced along the riverbank. Each tent has a veranda facing the river while suites add a private plunge pool. There is a constant flow of animals coming down to drink at the river offering a permanent show to visitors of the camp.
Ruaha River Lodge was the first camp built in Ruaha National Park and set in amongst a large cluster of rocks right on the north bank of the Great Ruaha River. It is one of the better areas for game viewing in Ruaha National Park, particularly during the dry season. This area attracts large numbers of animals that are drawn to the river to drink. Ruaha River Lodge has twenty-four detached chalets. Ruaha River Lodge has two separate dining and bar areas. The lounge and dining areas are under one large thatch roof, with open sides and views of the river.
Situated high on a rocky kopje, overlooking the Mkata flood plain, Stanley’s Kopje is home to some of the best views in Mikumi National Park. 12 tents elevated on wooden platforms blend seamlessly into the Mikumi wilderness, offering views of the surrounding plains. This camp is renowned for its incredible game drives with fantastic guides and explorations of the Tanzanian landscape.
