Enjoy the splendid isolation at Serena Mivumo River Lodge, an exclusive retreat deep in the Selous Game Reserve.
Overlooking the majestic Rufiji River, the luxurious spaces and stunning setting make for an exclusive destination boasting privacy, indulgence and authentic African charm. The villas and suite are individual wooden structures built on stilts along the steep riverbank, with a sumptuous design perfectly in keeping with the landscape.
The lodge offers a selection of exclusive game drives, bush walks, boat trips and bush picnics allowing you to get out into this natural wonderland. Relax in the plunge pool and well-stocked library and at night you’ll appreciate the warmth and camaraderie of the bonfire, perfect for stargazing.
Why we love Serena Mivumo River Lodge
-
Nyerere National Park is four times the size of the Serengeti, so there’s an endless amount to see across different landscapes
-
The design is a mix of classic Edwardian – think crystal chandeliers, four-poster beds and claw-foot bathtubs – with rustic Makuti ceilings and wooden furnishings
-
You can visit the nearby hot springs where you can bathe in warm, sulphurous water surrounded by forest scenery
-
The best way to end the day at Mivumo River Lodge is to take a boat to a sandbank spot for cold sundowners by the water
Our Expert Tips
Sundowners at Mivumo River Lodge
Enjoy a safari experience that dates back to the 1920s - watching the sunset over the African landscape while sipping a chilled cocktail. After a day spent on game drives spotting spectacular wildlife with your guide in Nyerere National Park, sit back and relax as you are taken by boat to the special sundowner spot on the sandbank. As you drift down the Rufiji river, look out for hippos and crocodiles, as well as animals on the banks munching leaves or having a drink.
Facilities
Enjoy fine cuisine within the enchanting surrounds of the main lodge or sip a gin and tonic as you watch the day wind down on the sundeck.
