During a safari walk, Richard Bonham, pilot and hunter, realized immediately that he had discovered something unique… on the banks of the Rufiji River, and the Luxury Adventures camp was born.

Composed of just 8 stone and thatched cottages, all open-fronted and raised on decks overlooking the river, there are 5 Riverside rooms – with en-suite bathrooms, hot and cold running water, flush toilets and powerful showers – and 3 Hillside Suites. The Suites have all the above, but a large living space and a small plunge pool. The views are akin to watching a beautiful painting come alive as you spot hippos & crocodiles wade lazily along the winding river, birds flitting about in the bushes or startle a baboon in the foliage.
