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

Fabulous accommodation, very comfy bed and big spacious room, outdoor shower, private plunge pool, lovely staff nothing too much trouble. Food could have been better - a bit 1980's for my taste.

Arranging transfer was surprisingly easy through the internet and there are several airlines which fly directly into the game reserves which is a very interesting experience. Selous is... More

The lodge sits on the banks of the Rufiji river. The staff are friendly and professional. The rooms are beautifully decorated and private. The Selous is one of the most amazing spots for wild Africa. It is a wining combination. More
