Location

Lodge location

Jimbiza Lodge is in the buffer zone of Selous game reserve right on the banks of the Rufiji river, 4 kilometers from Mtemere gate. Its a 250km drive from Dar Es Salaam or a 40 minute flight.

Getting there

Drive south from Dar Es Salaam along the Kilwa road for 140km, then turn off to the right at Kibiti, follow the rod for another 30km until you reach another junction. Turn right again and follow the road for 70km. Once your at the village of Mloka follow sign posts or ask directions. If you reach the selous gate you've gone too far.

Accommodation

All our rooms are comfortable, clean and spacious. We have three different types of rooms that are all good in their own way.

Bandas- Stylish design, smaller but also a more secure feeling netting ceilings still keep you close to nature. Nice view of the river.

Riverside tents-These are large and spacious giving you the feeling as if your right next to nature. They all have views directly onto the river.

Treetops- These are smaller than the riverside tents but are more secluded in the middle of the bush high up on a platform. Definately for those who want more privacy.
