The Nyerere National Park is located in south-eastern Tanzania, about 230 km from busy Dar es Salaam city to the park’s Mtemere Gate. Visitors reach the park by road or air: domestic flights from carriers such as Coastal Aviation or Safari Air Link. The nearest airstrip to the park is Mtemere airstrip (8 km away), and the alternative airstrip is Siwandu airstrip (20 km away.) The closest international airport is Dar es Salaam/Julius Nyerere (JNIA) which is 168 km (5 hours) away.
From Dar-es-Salaam, a 45-minute flight will take you to Stiegler airstrip, from where it is a 30-minute game drive to the lodge. Serena Mivumo River Lodge vehicles meet guests at this private airstrip.
The dry season is from June to the end of October/the start of November, and it is during this dry period the wildlife will gather around the diminishing water resources – making them easy to see! So-called ‘short rains’ fall in November and December, and this is springtime in Nyerere. It’s a great time for plants, flowers, insects, and birdlife. This is also the main birthing time, a great time to see baby animals. January to March is the hot and humid season with occasional rain showers. April and May is the rainy season.
