Mambo View Point

Herman and Marion of Mambo View Point in the north of the Usambara, fascinated us with their knowledge of the area...

Mambo Lodge is a charming eco friendly lodge with a combination of tents (with en suite bathrooms) and beautiful cabins built into the cliff face with 270 degree views. On a clear day Mt. Kilimanjaro is visible in all it's magnificence.

Over a hearty peanut soup and homemade cheeses, w

e talked about furniture, blogging, pear juice and Muzungu Kichaa. We even left Marion and Herman our copy of his latest CD which you can hear at http://www.myspace.com/mzungukichaa

Below attached some info from their website:

Their Lodge is situated at an altitude of 1900 meters and from there you can enjoy breathtaking views over the Pare Mountains, the Mkomazi National Park and the Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain. Moreover, ViewPoint also refers to the vision from which we work.

When you are travelling from Lushoto through the Usamba

ra 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, relax or take part of one of the many activities and it willmake your stay to an unforgettable happening.

Mambo is a small village with about 5000 inhabitants and in average, they have an income of less than a dollar a day. Development is still essential at all levels and in almost every aspect. The Eco Lodge iscontributing to the development of its region.
