Description

When you are travelling from Lushoto through the Usambara mountains with their wide vistas, cool climate, winding paths and picturesque villages you won't expect to find a small paradise like MamboViewPoint.

Enjoy the breath taking views across the plains to the Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, relax or take part of one of the many activities and it will make your stay  an unforgettable happening.

From our guest book:

"The hospitality of Herman and Marion and all the Mambo villagers, the tasty food and most of all the magnificent scene from the MamboViewPoint makes you feel you are in paradise!!
I am sure this is an example of social entrepreneurship that will inspire many people to follow the path Herman end Marlon have initiated."

"I really appreciate the warm welcome, the extraordinary panoramic shower and toilet facilities, the insights of Marion in the whole lodge concept and the incredible beauty of the site itself. Thanks a lot for a brilliant time."
