Socially concerned

Rufiji Explorers Camp is located on a plot of land that is rented from the village of Mbuyu Saba (seven baobabs). The camp was built with the help of villagers, who call it Campu Kitcha (crazy camp), using mainly natural materials.

In addition, the (Dutch) owner of Rufiji Explorers Camp tries to buy as many local products from this village as possible.

And, in addition to the annual lease, part of the income is donated to the village and the village school and community center are supported with donations.
