Mwiba River Lodge opened in summer 2013 in the Mwiba Wildlife Reserve, a private area of 51,000 hectares to the west of the Serengeti National Park.
This is an area where the large herds of the Great Migration settle between December and early March for the calving season. As it is not in the Park, it is not subject to Park restrictions, so off-road driving, night drives and game walks are all permitted. It comprises eight spacious rooms all with a double bed and a sofa bed, and an inside and outside shower, and bathtub and a flush toilet. The rooms are spread out and are about a 2 minutes’ walk from each other, so everything is very private.
It is built overlooking the river, and it is sculptured into the natural rocks, especially in the public areas of the dining room and lounge bar. There is an infinity pool and a well-frequented waterhole. You can lie by the swimming pool and watch the wildlife activity at the wildlife pool; the lodge has 24/7 water and electricity.
At Mwiba River Lodge the tariff includes:
- Meals.
- Accommodation.
- Tea & coffee, -mineral water, soft drinks, house wine and beers and some spirits.
- All game activities, including night drives and game walks as well as regular game drives.
- Laundry
Chargeable at Mwiba River Lodge:
- Gratuities.
- Champagnes, Cognacs, Premium brand spirits, cellar wines, cigars and cigarettes.
Mwiba Lodge comprises 10 spacious and elegantly appointed suites, complete with a king-sized bed with a mosquito net and air conditioning, a lounge area, an outdoor deck, and an en-suite bathroom with a deep-soaking tub and both an indoor and outdoor shower.
Each of the suites can be adjusted to either a king, twin or triple configuration.
ADJOINING SUITES:
Of the 10 tented suites, 2 pairs are adjoining and suitable to accommodate guests who are travelling together.
These particular tented suites have been connected by wooden walkways to allow easy access between the suites, thus making them ideal for families traveling with children. The walkway would not be suitable for children of toddler age to pass across unattended.
Please note, however, that due to the rocky nature of the lodge, it is not recommended that children younger than 10 years of age stay in the adjoining suite without an older sibling, parent or adult.
Each tented suite is identical in its layout, the standard of furnishings is consistent, and both suites have sufficient privacy. Should two couples or adult guests traveling together wish to be accommodated close to each other, these adjoining suites are also perfectly appointed to be used as such. We will only ever accommodate guests from a combined party in the adjoining pairs of suites.
CHILDREN SHARING:
If a triple configuration is required, the sofa in the lounge area of the tented suite can be made up as an additional single bed. This is suitable to accommodate a child of 15 years or younger. In the event that the sofa is used as a bed, a portable mosquito net is hung.
The lodge has a portable cot available which can be used for an infant of 2 years or younger. It comes with a fitted mosquito net.
