Boats, walks and fly-camping on the Rufiji River, inside Africa's largest game reserve.
Below are 8 stays in Nyerere, grouped by type. Rates are per person sharing and are indicative until we quote your dates.
Camps sit on the river or its lakes. Boat safaris are the draw, along with walking with armed rangers.

Curious where everything sits? Open the map and explore the area before you choose.
Look at the lodges first, then ask about age rules, family rooms and a pool.
Choose a tented camp with a private deck. Ask us to add a bush dinner or a surprise.
Ask about interconnecting rooms or booking a whole camp. We can manage the sleeping plan for every age.
Bush and mid-range camps give the same wildlife for much less. Green-season rates are the lowest.
We suggest 3 – 4 nights. That is long enough to settle in and make the most of the wildlife without rushing.
June – October. Green-season rates are lower, and the landscape is lusher.
Short flight from Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar. We arrange every transfer and flight for you.
Camps sit on the river or its lakes. Boat safaris are the draw, along with walking with armed rangers.
