Nyerere
The Rufiji river, its lakes and channels, and the only proper boat safari in the Tanzanian portfolio.
What the ground is like
The part that decides whether a journey works.
| Ground conditions | Flat along the river, soft and black-cotton away from it. The tracks go in the rains. |
|---|---|
| Best months | June to October. Boat safaris depend on the river level rather than the calendar, and in a poor year the channels are too shallow by October. |
| Access notes | River camps are built on raised decks, which means steps. Boat boarding varies with the water level. Nothing here is measured. |
