This place is absolutely beautiful. You can get amazing views in every direction you look at. The staff were all very friendly and polite. Lots of hiking to do around this area. You have an opportunity to get amazing sunsets and sunrises given the weather conditions. Amazing drive up to the lodge (not on a rainy day). Would definately come back to this place.
CanadaThis place is unique. It takes the best of two worlds the amenities of a hotel and the sharing of a hostel. The room, food, the area and people working here are amazing. If your really want to disconnect this is the place you should go. One of the best hotels in the world, not only in Tanzania
United States of AmericaThe view is a top draw -really superb. The staff are very well-trained. The food was delicious. Our rooms (Bob, Special) were spacious, quiet and comfortable. There are great public spaces and there's a bit of style (especially for this part of the world!). The community work the owners are doing makes you feel your money is going to a good cause. They also know some great guides!
CanadaNot only the hospitality of staff and executives but the social engagement for the neighboring community. A role model for other projects that are not only focused on profit...
GermanyThe drive up to Mambo View Point is scenic and beautiful but also long and in places very scary. Don’t drive it at night or when you are in a hurry. Get instructions from Herman the owner to make sure you travel the correct route. Our room was spacious with an awesome view which was mostly in cloud due to the weather. Meal time is like eating with a family and there is heaps of good quality food. The staff are helpful and friendly and helped my husband with an issue with wiring to our truck battery. We had the fire lit in our room to take the chill off making a chilly night warmer. I can only imagine how spectacular the views must be when it’s fine but it was pretty special being in and above could.
New ZealandThe location is out of this world and a must see. The views over Tanzania are staggering. The owner and staff are friendly and the group sit down meal is a lovely touch. You feel very valued.
