Tanzania - Places To Stay

Western Usumbara Mountains - Muller's Lodge is located approximately 20 km outside Lushoto. Amongst the early settlers in the Usambara was Grant, a retired forestry officer. In 1935 he built his home, located at 1,700m amongst the rolling, forested hills above Lushoto. In the 1970's Grant left Tanzania and eventually taken over by the Muller family. The cuisine is excellent and the atmosphere tranquil and relaxing. Evenings can be spent in the comfortable sitting room by a log fire. There is a small library and a collection of games.

Around the lodge are pleasant gardens and lawns amongst shady trees. Numerous walks are available in the area offering excellent bird watching opportunities and of considerable botanical interest. The walks are well-documented and guide sheets are available at the lodge.
