Overview
The Rufiji River is Tanzania's largest river by volume, flowing from the highland catchments of the Southern Highlands and the Udzungwa Mountains before entering the vast Selous-Nyerere ecosystem. The river is the lifeline of Nyerere National Park — Africa's largest game reserve — where boat safaris along its channels and oxbow lakes offer encounters with enormous crocodiles, schools of hippos, elephant herds crossing at sunset, and extraordinary concentrations of waterbirds. The Rufiji delta on the Indian Ocean coast supports one of East Africa's most significant mangrove ecosystems.
