Fodor's Expert Review Rufiji River Camp
Selous Game Reserve, Lindi, Tanzania
This camp—the oldest in the reserve—has a great location on a wide bend on the Rufiji at the end of the eastern sector of the reserve. It has a homey and laid-back air about it, with caring and attentive staff and guides. Guests stay in comfortable, spacious en suite tents that are spread out along the river. Each tent has a private verandah, two large beds, and a sitting room. Depending on the length of your stay you can choose any or all of the activities on offer including game drives, walking safaris, boat safaris, and overnight fly-camping.
PROS
- family units have their own private plunge pool and deck
- variety of game-viewing options gives you a different perspective of the wildlife and allows you to see a wide variety of animals, large and small
- great views from the front of the lodge
CONS
- monkeys can be a problem in camp as they try to steal food from tables—don't feed them
- simpler style than other camps in the area
- activities are at set times
