Overview of Serena Mivumo River Lodge
Located on the banks of the Rufiji River with views of Stiegler’s Gorge, Serena’s Mivumo River Lodge is in a prime spot in Tanzania’s Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve). This huge reserve is bigger than Switzerland and four times the size of the Serengeti.
Nyerere is a hidden gem, known for having one of Africa’s largest elephant populations. You can explore its open savannah, woodlands, and lush wetlands through game drives, boat safaris, and guided nature walks with the lodge’s expert guides. Along with abundant wildlife, the park is perfect for birdwatching, with over 120 species spotted in just a week.
Mivumo River Lodge offers everything you’d expect from a Serena Hotel: delicious food, exciting safari adventures, and a romantic atmosphere in a small, exclusive lodge in the heart of the wild. With only 12 private chalets, the lodge ensures great service, special extras like wilderness picnics, and a peaceful, relaxing environment.
Rooms at Serena Mivumo River Lodge
Standard Room
The lodge has only 12 wood-and-thatch chalets, spread out in a natural forest to keep things private and peaceful. The chalets are slightly raised on wooden platforms and have high thatched roofs, which let in cool breezes and natural light. Inside, you’ll find a mix of modern leather furniture, classic safari decor, and luxury linen, giving it a rich, stylish feel. The bathrooms are big and fancy, with marble sinks, large tubs, and outdoor showers with great views.
You might be tempted to leave your cool, air-conditioned chalet to relax on a lounger on your private sun deck or enjoy the Jacuzzi, both with views of the Rufiji River.
