Our story

A legacy of hospitality since 1977.

From the Tulivu Bar to Mbise Lodge & Garden, the welcome has stayed the same.

Where it began

From a bar to a lodge.

Mbise began as the Tulivu Bar in Maji ya Chai, on the road between Arusha and Kilimanjaro.

Over the years it grew into a lodge of seventeen rooms around a paved courtyard and a walled garden, and the bar is still at the heart of it.

The team

The people who look after you.

Ask them anything: the best road to the parks, a table in the garden, or an early breakfast before a long drive.
