Rufiji River Camp
"Good Bush Camping at Rufiji"
3 nights
Arrived
25 Aug 2008
"Great river side location, with excellent game viewing, particularly the boating safari and plenty of wildlife coming through the camp at night. The guides were of a good standard, slightly reserved but very knowledgeable and friendly.
The pool area was nice and the food was simple but wholesome and of good quality. This is definatley a camp not a lodge, the tents were basic but comfortable with fantastic views, if a little dated.
The camp could be greatly improved if the standard of customer service displayed by the management were improved, simple things such as a welcome in the bar area as opposed to a list of do's and don'ts at reception, talking to guests at and around dinner as opposed to eating their own meals in the corner and asking guests how things were rather than having to be found to ask for things."

"Good city hotel, for one night in transit to Zanzibar. Excellent food and atmosphere in the restaurant.
The only issue was that following purchasing some items in the hotel shop one of our party had their credit card details stolen and fraudulently used, which we have notified the hotel of."

Fantastic game viewing in a beautiful location, with plenty of wildlife coming through the camp. Would highly recomend it.
The only small area for improvement would be in the food which relative to the price and standard of the camp as a whole could be more imaginative."
