The Lodge is located near the game reserve, airstrip, river and local village. Rose, the manager, ran a tight ship, yet she was always friendly, professional, and available to provide insightful advice. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We went with our 7-year-old and after dinner he would be welcomed by Rose and Animarta as they sat outside the kitchen,... More

I visited the lodge February 14. 2013. Arrived by airplane from Dar es Salam, was met by a representativ who asked with a mile, "are you Svein?" . He showed me the car, and I paid a landing fee, 5 dollar. I got a Banda - and room was ok. I thought as I allways do in Africa - this... More

We stayed in Jimbiza's stoned banda for 3 days in the end of January 2013. As we have been with 2 years old kid we selected lodge outside of the reserve, but we were very happy that it took very short drive till the park. Logde was ok, food was tasty, stuff helpfull and nice. Only 1 thing was strange... More

A friend and I had an amazing stay at the Jimbiza Lodge! Fantastic view and fantastic food! Great rooms and very nice service. We had river safari and 1,5 day with game drive and stayed for 2 nights. The driver and guide Aminata were super nice. We did see all the animals, even the very shy Leopard! A lion with... More

We stayed 2 nights in the lodge during our safari in the Selous Game Reserve. We stayed in a stoned banda. The room was 20m² with a separate bathroom with toilet and shower. The plumbing was outdated. The bed was from a good quality. The swimming pool was dirty. We have full board and all the meals were excellent and... More

This is one of about half a dozen riverside camps outside the Mtemere Gate of Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania. The drive to the Mtemere gate is 20 mins. Convenient enough. The camp is small, well laid out, with breathtaking views over the river, and a setting in original bush which gives shade and a fantastic range of creatures in and... More

We stayed here in October, my husband and our 5 year old and had a great experience. Thanks to Rose and Yusef. The accommodation was so comforatble and it was a delight to see monkeys in the trees on the path. Everything ran on time and we were impressed wit the sensational location. will definately be back again and cannot... More

The lodge came highly recommended and totally exceeded our expectations. Apart from superb accommodation (had no ideas tents could be so luxurious) the honour of experiencing real Africa which is not in any way spoilt by over tourism (sadly so many Game Lodges are these days) was a special treat. During our game drive we saw every animal under the... More

After a two night stay at Jimbiza we were sad to leave. Everything was amazing from the courteous booking process admidst our many enquiries, to the prompt pick up from Dar, fantastic waiter service, fabulous game drive which our driver Yousef did not give up on our elephant quest- they were all in hiding on our particular day but we...
