Riverview Tents

Unwind in a classic canvas safari tent, set just back from the river with views through the trees.

Feel closer to nature

The Riverview Tents sit slightly behind the riverfront, with open sightlines through to the Rufiji. The river is still part of the stay — visible from the veranda, present in the background, carrying sound through the day and into the night.

The tents are spacious and carefully furnished in a modern yet classic safari style, capturing the feel of a classic safari under canvas. Each tent has solar power for lights and a fan and an ensuite bathroom with hot water— some inspired by our mud hut design, others open-air, where you can shower under the stars or get ready to the coo of wood pigeons. 

There’s a slightly softer feel to this position. A bit more shade from the trees, a bit more shelter, while still holding onto the view.

Afternoons tend to unfold slowly here — sitting out, watching the light move through the trees and onto the water beyond, the pace of the day easing without much effort.
