Serena Mivumo River Lodge โ€” Rufiji Elegance With Views to Stiegler's Gorge

Serena Mivumo River Lodge, owned by the Serena Hotels group, is set on the banks of the Rufiji River in Nyerere National Park with jaw-dropping views stretching to Stiegler's Gorge โ€” the dramatic gorge through which the Rufiji cuts its way. A TripAdvisor review describes arrival: "We arrived at Mivumo Lodge late afternoon and were stunned by this place โ€” the setting is unreal, on the banks of the Rufiji River. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, the food was great. Morning boat safari on the river with guide Issa โ€” we even saw giraffes from the boat."

Twelve timbered thatched chalets are scattered through the riverine forest for privacy โ€” each with high ceilings, wide picture windows, a crystal chandelier, marble vanity, bathtub and romantic outdoor shower. Every room has its own extensive private sun-deck, sun loungers and private plunge pool. A Villa with three double bedrooms provides family or group accommodation. Boat safaris on the Rufiji, walking safaris and game drives complete the offering.

Accommodation

Twelve thatched chalets with private plunge pools, outdoor showers and Stiegler's Gorge views. Crystal chandeliers, marble vanities. Villa option for groups. Boat safaris, game drives, walking safaris.

SafariBando's view

Serena Mivumo River Lodge is the most architecturally elegant Nyerere lodge โ€” private plunge pools, crystal chandeliers and Stiegler's Gorge views in thatched forest chalets. The Serena quality standards ensure reliable service. Expert Africa notes the windows and air-conditioning somewhat dispel the wilderness feel, which is the honest trade-off for this level of hotel luxury. For guests wanting both river beauty and hotel-grade comfort, Mivumo is the answer.
