About Our Farm Lodge

A sustainable tourism initiative dedicated to conservation and community empowerment.

Nestled in Handeni, just 3km from Mkata village along the Tanga Highway, our farm lodge was established with a passion for environmental conservation and community development. We provide the perfect base for exploring Saadani National Park, the Usambara Mountains, and Mkomanzi National Park.

Our eco-friendly camping options in the garden allow you to sleep under the stars while our main house offers more traditional accommodations. We work closely with local communities to provide authentic experiences while ensuring tourism benefits are shared fairly.
