The carved wine towers behind the Tulivu Bar

Restaurant & Tulivu Bar

Where Mbise began.

Long before the rooms, there was the Tulivu Bar.

It is still the heart of the lodge: a carved wooden bar, a wall of wine, zebra-striped sofas and tables by the garden window. Guests and visitors are always welcome.

The garden

Fountains, flamingos and shade.

A walled garden of palms and flowering trees, for an afternoon drink, a birthday, a family celebration or a quiet evening outdoors.

Our story

A legacy of hospitality since 1977.

From the Tulivu Bar to Mbise Lodge & Garden, the welcome has stayed the same. Ask us anything: the best road to the parks, a table in the garden, or an early breakfast before a long drive.
