    I liked that is was a very chill place with lots of green around. At late afternoon after the rain you could see some different creatures outside in the garden. I saw 3 different species os frog, bats and the famous huuuuuge African snail. For me...

    Mwanza is known as Rock City, and the walk to Mambo & Jambo is past some amazing boulders. Behind the main house is a nice series of small patios with lake views. The concierge Stan let us leave our bags once we checked out since we booked a night...

    Good value for money! Decent room especially for the price :) The owner was also really flexible when we decided to stay a day less on short notice.

    Mambo & Jambo House is a pleasant place from which to explore Mwanza. The common areas were comfortable and the dorm was adequate. While the host was not present for most of our stay, she was responsive to questions and very helpful.

Mambo and Jambo is most of a home place where you can cook and do all home activities,It makes you feel more like home.
She is a very social person and like to spend time with her guests upon their will.
The house is so close to Tilapia hotel where you can get meals,swimming pool and the best view of lake Victoria.
