The Camp boast 20 large tents. The tents have basic furnishings but are comfortable, with a choice of twin or double beds, all are fitted with mosquito nets, writing desks, shelves and have 24 hour solar powered lighting. Each tent has its own bathroom with a flush toilet, bidet, hand-basin and shower, and a veranda under a roof of local straw offers fantastic views of the river and its animals. Electricity and hot water are powered by solar panels, while UHV-filtered drinking water is available throughout camp.

The main bulding in the central part of the camp hosts the restaurant featuring international cuisine, a well stocked bar and a library, all with a view of the river and the sunset.

A covered swimming pool is situated in the camp, between reception and dining area.

Activities at Rufiji include river boat safaris, game drives and guided walks. Boat safaris explore the nearby lakes, whilst game drives can venture further. Whole-day drives are often possible, and you'll take with you a picnic for a leisurely lunch in the bush. The nearby forest is best explored on foot; your guide will lead you along shady paths in search of blue samango and black-and-white colobus.

Run by an Italian owner, Luigi, the Rufiji River Camp is well organised, unpretentious and relaxed. Unfortunately kids below 6 years are not allowed to stay at the camp.
