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.
