Mivumo River Lodge – A Serenely Exclusive Safari Experience with Moonlight Tours Expedition

Nestled along the banks of the Rufiji River with breathtaking views stretching to Stiegler’s Gorge, Mivumo River Lodge offers an idyllic retreat in Nyerere National Park (formerly Selous Game Reserve) – one of the largest and most remote wildlife reserves in Africa, four times the size of the Serengeti. Located in a pristine, secluded area of this vast wilderness, the lodge is an unrivaled escape for those seeking authentic safari adventures and luxurious seclusion.

With its dense elephant populations, diverse landscapes, and abundant wildlife, Nyerere is a hidden gem for game drives, boat safaris, and guided walks. Whether you're a seasoned birder with a passion for spotting the 120+ species of birds or someone eager to witness the Big Five, this remarkable destination promises thrilling experiences and an immersive connection with nature.

Mivumo River Lodge presents a refined and romantic atmosphere, perfect for honeymoons and special getaways. Offering only 12 exclusive chalets, the intimate lodge provides a level of personalized service and privacy that larger properties simply cannot match.
