In Mombo (on the B1 from Dar es Salaam to Moshi/Arusha) – the junction between the Express road and the Usambara road, take a turn into the mountains. Follow the tarmac road, 1 hour to Lushoto (via Soni). In Lushoto, with the roundabout keep right and follow the tarmac road. At the roundabout in Magamba turn left, along the Sekumo university. At the T-junction turn right and follow the winding dust road, over the mountain pass to Lukozi, a busy market place. In the center of Lukozi, at a round-about with a big tree in the middle, turn left and follow the dust road for another hour till you see our sign boards. If lost ask for Mtae, which is 3 km past Mambo.

HOWEVER, DURING THE RAIN SEASON – THE BEST ROAD IS VIA RANGWI – PLEASE SEE THE DIRECTIONS BELOW!
