This property epitomises the essence of Nyerere National Park. A seriously well-run camp that has an incredibly well-established reputation. Fantastic for walking safaris and boating trips.

Camp

Nestled within the remarkable Nyerere National Park on the banks of the Rufiji River, the lodge boasts awe-inspiring views across the water. Built with a combination of thatched roofs, round stones, and cement, the lodge's whitewashed walls and exposed stone create a visually appealing atmosphere. The dining room offers a mix of private tables and a larger communal table, catering to individual preferences. The inter-leading sitting area is adorned with plush upholstered furniture, African carvings, and natural wood sourced from fallen trees, evoking a relaxed and homely ambiance. Outside, a viewing deck awaits, as does a refreshing swimming pool.

Rooms

Sand Rivers features just eight rooms, including five standard rooms and three suites. Designed in harmony with the lodge's style, the open-air viewpoints foster a sense of immersion in the bush rather than a barrier from it. Both room types offer ample privacy and include writing desks, shelving, and double or twin beds adorned with crisp bedding and mosquito nets. The en-suite bathrooms are equipped with showers and sinks boasting hot running water. The suites offer additional space and the added luxury of a private plunge pool.

Activity

Immerse yourself in the unparalleled guided excellence, where an array of activities awaits your exploration. Embark on exhilarating game drives to uncover elusive species such as the majestic wild dogs, or opt for an intimate walking safari, encountering wildlife of all shapes and sizes. Enhance your adventure by combining it with a night of fly-camping under the stars for an unforgettable wilderness experience. Cruise along the winding Rufiji River and Stiegler’s Gorge through our boating excursions, or indulge in the tranquility of Tagalala's hot springs and the option of fishing. Or unwind by the camp's swimming pool with a refreshing beverage.
