We where going to stay a few day, but ended up staying for a week. Mkoma bay is a fantastic place and definitely on our list of places to revisit someday. After more than 20.000 kilometers of road trips around Africa, Mkoma Bay is high on the top 10 list of places we definitely want to revisit. The food is... More

Second time at Mkoma Bay. As with the last time- wonderful experience! Accommodation is clean and comfortable with notable attention given to details. Even during a bit of inclement weather, we found the luxury tents to be dry, cozy and had a lovely night's sleep listening to the rain on our thatched roof. The food was excellent and the staff...

This year I chose to return to Mkoma Bay (I have stayed here earlier this year) to spend my favourite holiday - Easter - there together with a friend. The location of this lodge is unique and special in so many ways. You are up high on a cliff overlooking the most peaceful and stunning bay in the area. Only... More

We spent one night there accidentally. We arrived too late in the area and the hotel we booked first was still far. It was a wonderful surprise. We were well welcomed by the management who immediately improvise a dinner for us. Finally, we had a delicious candle light dinner. The lodge was very very nice. A tent with a huge... More

I recently visited for a (too) short stay at the Mkoma Bay Tented Lodge. It was like a hidden paradise. The accomodation was spot on. The beds enormous, rooms perfect. The food was excellent and I think it was the most romantic place I have ever been to. The beach was amazing, empty and perfect. I cannot recommend it highly... More

My wife and me have stayed here already twice - and for sure it is one of our most beloved places in Tanzania. The owners Lisa and Ulrik care about you like being a family member. The accomodation, embedded within large shady trees where monkeys stroll around, and lot of plants, is comfortable with nice swahili style furniture, large Zanziabar... More

If you want to get as far away as possible but still have modern luxury, this is the place. This place is a must add to your Tanzania experience. The owners will go out ther way to make you feel at home, they even kept the resteraunt open very late our first night. The roads getting there is the only... More

After a mountain biking trip thru Tanzania our group ended up at Mkoma Bay. Cool towels to wash of the dust, cool drinks and warm hospitality from Lisa and Ullrich and their staff. The meals were delish. We had a buffet at the pool with terrific fish and a perfectly cooked beef tenderloin. Lisa is able to get all the... More

When I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in the mid-1990s, I taught at Boza Secondary School, just outside of Pangani. With a wonderful view of the Indian Ocean from my back porch, I was always surprised that there wasn't more in the way of good tourist accommodation in this beautiful place. Pangani has changed a lot since then, including its... More

This was my second time staying at Mkoma Bay. One of my friends and I stumbled upon Mkoma Bay last year, it was their last day as they were closing for the month of May but the owners, Lisa and Ulrich, were kind enough to let us stay for 3 days, invited us to their house and made us feel... More
