Expansive expeditions

Rufiji River Safaris

Rufiji river, the largest in Tanzania, East Africa, drains most of the southern part of the country and is navigable for about 60 mi (100 km). Formed by the confluence of the Kilombero and the Luwegu rivers, it flows for about 175 mi northeast and east to enter the Indian Ocean, opposite Mafia Island. The river has major potential for irrigation and hydroelectric power development.
