Maweni Farm

Northeastern Tanzania


This atmospheric old farmhouse is set in lovely rambling grounds against a backdrop of twittering birds, flowering gardens and a water-lily-covered pond, with Kwa Mungu mountain rising up behind. Rooms are straightforward and spacious, and meals are healthy and excellent. Knowledgable guides are available, and the property makes a wonderful and quiet base for exploring the Usambaras.

To reach Maweni, follow the signposted dirt road from Soni junction past the weekly market for 2.9km.
