The Main House

The Main house of the lodge was built in 1905, and it still retains many of the original features. Long colonial verandas stretch along the front of the house. On the long armed chairs you can watch the lake, monkeys, forest. When the clouds clear up you can sit and admire the grandeur of Mount Kilimanjaro. 
We have a bar next to the reception as wells a a fireplace in the living room. Furnished with stone benches and leather cushions, it is decorated with antiques commemorating Tanzania’s German colonial past. 
All meals can be served in three locations. A dining room with an outside veranda, a tenticle dining area or a romantic lake pavilion.
