Mivumo is a place of remote luxury, excellent service and outstanding cuisine. We went to see the amazing Tanzanian bird life and were expertly guided by Chris to 130 sitings in a week. Safaris in the bush in a 4 by 4 and hours on the river were fortified by some wonderful food - especially the lunchtime 'cold' soups! The... More

Fabulous Lodge and an exceptional experience. Can't praise it too highly ... . Wonderful to see so many animals in their natural habitat - by safari jeep, river boat and walking in the bush. Very much enjoyed the excellent service, superb food, sitting in the central area as well as the sitting area in our individual lodge, the pool, and... More

We started here and stayed for two nights. Very courteous staff and good food, drink, etc. Safari experience included on boat as well as more traditional Land Cruiser. Shower and plunge pool on back deck (facing river) was delightful. The climate is tough out here and you can see it in the "boardwalk" to get to each of the lodges.... More

The Selous game reserve is a great alternative to the busy Serengeti. It's very green and less developed, with more wildlife and nature to discover than we have expected. The Mivumo lodge is built right on the river bank, has beautifully decorated 5-star luxury rooms with king-size beds, a private plunge pool and outdoor showers with views on the river... More

This holiday was planned with the assistance of Linda Holden of Holidays Please and nothing was too much trouble. We gave Linda our preferences and she far exceeded our expectations.

On arrival at the selous reserve we were given a wonderful welcome, nothing was too much trouble. the chef made us a congratulation cake and a bottle... More

Mivomo Lodge is not what you would expect to find on safari in Africa. Rather than tents in the bush it has elevated timber rooms with airconditioning and glass windows looking over a wide river at the bottom of a thick tree lined gorge. It was a stunning setting, the sounds of the animals and birds amplified by the gorge.... More

Mivumo River Lodge is probably one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in around the world. The bungalow is tastefully decorated and huge- complete with a sitting area, large bathroom and a private deck and jacuzzi with amazing views of the Rufiji River. The staff was just wonderful- very personable and helpful. Everything was flawlessly arranged, including lovely... More

When you look for contrast of luxury and life surrounded by the wildlife, go to Dar es Salaam, take a 45 minute small-aircraft flight and land in Selous on an airstrip in the middle of nowhere. Your personal guide will meet you there in a 4x4 Jeep and 30 minutes later you find yourself at the Mivumo River Lodge. The... More
