Lushoto Executive Lodge

Price/quality certainly in order with fairly spacious and neat rooms with everything you need to stay here for a few nights when you want to stay in the forests around Lushoto. The offer of food and drinks is also sufficient but not very extensive. The service is generally very friendly and motivated.

The review of Lushoto Executive Lodge My stay was very good and enjoyed the good vegetation and environment. The staff were friendly and very kind.

Best place to stay when visit Lushoto it's a walking distance to town, friendly staff with great service, clean rooms with a nice view from the rooms, nice breakfast and a playground for kids to play. I will choose this place on my next Visit to Lushoto.

On my Tanzania tour in September 2024 I had planned a short detour to Lushoto, as I wanted to visit the Usambara Mountains. My experience: It's a small cozy town with nice and helpful people and hiking through the landscape is great. The hotel complex is beautiful with many amenities and nicely furnished rooms. I especially enjoyed sitting outside on the terrace in front of my room in the evening. The breakfast is very rich and delicious. About the journey I was extremely unsure about bus timetables and how to book tickets. You can hardly find any reliable information or even timetables online. On site, however, it is quite easy to book a bus ticket (in my case from Moshi, but also from Arusha) and there is also a very comfortable direct bus from Lushoto to Dar es Salaam. The bus rides are quite long (from Moshi to Lushoto about 5 h in a very full bus and then to Dar es Salaam about 7 h), but also entertaining and you are rewarded with a very nice landscape view on the way from Mombo to Lushoto. The bus company from Lushoto to Dar es Salaam is Kiluwa. It makes several stops in Dar es Salaam and ends at the (huge) Mbezi Magufuli Bus Terminal. To buy a ticket, you need a Tanzanian mobile number, so it's best to get a sim card beforehand. You can book a guide for the hikes, which is worthwhile because there are many interesting “secret paths” through the forest. I had a guide, called Costa, he has a nice tourist office in the center and a store with handmade souvenirs at very fair prices. I am glad to have made this detour and would love to come back for a whole week, unfortunately I had only planned 2 full days, which was far too short.

We went for an holiday at lushoto and decided to stay at the lodge. Wow, it's much more of an experience to it. It was worth it. We loved everything from customer services so responsive, the rooms were clean with towels, the heater, the bedroom with blankets, the food was delicious and well prepared, the great view so green area, the beautiful garden, the manager & the staffs were so helpful. I felt so cold cause of the weather and the manager helped me with his sweater cause I didn't have one, what a kindness! We recommend this accommodation to anyone who visits lushoto.
