Soak in the Maji Moto hot springs at Nyerere National Park

Follow your guide through indigenous forest to a hidden hot spring, where you can swim in warm, sapphire waters. The Maji Moto hot springs are just a short drive from Mivumo River Lodge, yet it feels like the sparkling pools are in the middle of nowhere – it’s as if you’ve discovered your own private forest bath. Guests love having the opportunity to walk and bathe among nature after being stuck in a safari vehicle.

When you arrive at the site, your guide will take you on a hike through the thick woodland where you’ll be surrounded by bird calls. Eventually, you’ll emerge at a secret ravine covered with lush vegetation where you’ll find the hot pools. These are formed when sulphurous water flows over the rocks, creating a series of beautiful ponds where you can soak in soothing waters. It’s the perfect way to relax after a hectic safari schedule.

Sundowners at Mivumo River Lodge

Enjoy a safari experience that dates back to the 1920s - watching the sunset over the African landscape while sipping a chilled cocktail. After a day spent on game drives spotting spectacular wildlife with your guide in Nyerere National Park, sit back and relax as you are taken by boat to the special sundowner spot on the sandbank. As you drift down the Rufiji river, look out for hippos and crocodiles, as well as animals on the banks munching leaves or having a drink.

The sundowner site will be set up for you with tables and chairs, plus a selection of cold drinks and snacks. Sit down and share stories with your guide while watching life unfold on the river as the sun goes down, turning the sky dramatic shades of orange and red. It’s a signature safari experience and guests love the tranquil riverside setting. It’s just magical for photographs and the perfect way to end your day at Mivumo River Lodge.
