A drawing, because nobody has sent us a photograph of Kiba Point yet. Send five and this page changes the same week.
Sand Rivers' private annexe, four suites on their own bend of the Rufiji taken by one group at a time. It suits a family or two couples who want top-end guiding without sharing a mess tent, and everything from the vehicle to the chef comes with the house. Because it sells as a unit the headline figure looks alarming until you divide it by four.
Why you'd pick it
- Only your party, with your own guide, vehicle and boat
- Four suites on a private stretch of the Rufiji
- Sand Rivers next door for the larger camp facilities
What the park charges on top
The rate above buys you a bed. Nyerere National Park charges its own entry fee for every day you are inside. Here is what that adds up to.
- Park entry$70 plus 18% VAT, charged per 24 hours.
- $82.6per person, per day
- Vehicle$40 plus VAT, foreign registered.
- $47.2per vehicle, per day
Three nights means three days inside, so two adults sharing one vehicle pay $637.2 in park fees before anyone pays for a bed.
The full fee schedule for Nyerere National ParkRates
Exclusive use. Booked as a whole house rather than per bed: roughly $9,150 for three nights for four guests, which works out around $765 per person per night. Nomad publishes no standard rate card for it, so ask for a written quote.
What the rate covers is not confirmed. We do not know yet whether meals, drinks and activities are included, so read this as the bed only.
Every figure on this page is in US dollars.
Indicative 2026 rates gathered in July 2026 from operators' own rate cards, and from the best third-party sources where an operator publishes nothing at all. No published rate means 'on request'. Always confirm with the property. Two things shift the real comparison in this park. First, park fees are extra almost everywhere: a camp inside the boundary carries the $82.60 conservation fee plus a $59.00 to $70.80 concession fee per adult per night, both including VAT, and most in-park camps bundle these into an all-inclusive rate while the camps outside the gate charge entry, boat and walking fees separately on the days you go in. Second, ignore any camp still advertising night game drives: they are not permitted inside the national park since the 2019 regazettement. Names you may still find in older guides but that we do not list: Azura Selous, which appears permanently closed, plus Selous Kulinda, Ol Moran, Jimbiza Lodge, Selous Great Water, Selous Mbuyu, Selous Mapumziko, The Retreat Selous and Amara Selous, none of which we could verify as currently trading.
