The Perfect Getaway – Mbuyuni Farm Retreat
Our new cottages
Interior Bee-eater Cottage
Located only 1,5 hours by the new SGR fast train from Dar es Salaam to Morogoro, Mbuyuni Farm Retreat offers a relaxing country experience. Our four bungalows, are located in a quiet and peaceful setting and are surrounded by beautiful gardens. Two bungalows have kitchens for guests who prefer to cater for themselves. You are welcome to stroll around the farm and watch the activities or explore the farm’s forested areas which include many bird species (we have established three walking trails of varying lengths). Birdwatchers have identified over 230 species so far!
The magnificent Uluguru Mountains fill the horizon and are great for hiking. Mikumi National Park is one and half hours away from Mbuyuni Farm Retreat — perfect for a day trip. A new destination is Wami Mbiki Game Reserve, also appr. 1,5h from the farm and recommended for guests who prefer a chilled day by the Wami River. For any activities please contact Simone or Onesmo. Or just relax at the pool right outside the cottages, play a game of volleyball, or enjoy a game of golf or tennis at the Morogoro Gymkhana Club in Morogoro Town.
How to find Mbuyuni Farm Retreat
The most comfortbale way is by SGR train to Morogoro Station and take a taxi from there (appr. 40 minutes, Tshs 50-70.000).
When coming from Dar es Salaam by car turn off right at Kingolwira Village (the last village before Morogoro Town). Please do not use Google Maps! There is a large mosque with a green roof at the beginning of the village (S 06 32’ 05”; EO 37 26’ 39”), follow the line of mango trees and continue until you see white arrows marked on rocks. After about 3km you cross a small bridge and you are on the farm (S 06 44’ 47”; EO 37 45’ 16”). On the farm keep on following the white signs up to the office. KARIBUNI SANA!
