Boasting a garden and views of garden, Mambo & Jambo House is a recently renovated homestay situated in Mwanza, 700 metres from Saanane Island National Park. The property has city and quiet street views, and is 1.1 km from Mwanza Train Station. There is an outdoor fireplace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

I liked that is was a very chill place with lots of green around. At late afternoon after the rain you could see some different creatures outside in the garden. I saw 3 different species os frog, bats and the famous huuuuuge African snail. For me that was the highlight of my stay, besides the beautiful staff. The other guests were very nice and chill. The kitchen was good as well. I love that the private room is affordable, very clean and comfortable. Also there’s a beautiful view of the lake. Thank you!!

    Seeing that's a homestay, you may keep connected to your hosts to be guided to the place when you arrive in Mwanza. The apartment is cute. The room & sheets are clean, bathroom ok, WiFi, fridge, shared kitchen & living room. But the real plus is Zaky, a sweet man who will do everything he can to help you.

    The homestay is situated in a convenient location, making it easy to access nearby attractions, restaurants, and transportation options. The accommodation provided was comfortable and clean. While it may not have been luxurious, it had everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

    Staff was open heart and welcoming, and all tried their best. Breakfast was not impressive but doable. Garden amazing, the old mansion of an Indian family converted to a homestay. that place could be a stunner with just a bit more dedication and love for the details. HUGE bathrooms, huge bedrooms. I would go back, and people there did their best to be helpful. very good price value, perfect spot to all locations. you should consider it as your stay.

    The breakfast is served on time with our expectation on a big dining table. Option for cooking food on own is also available. Location-wise, it's excellent on the hilltop, a very safe place, very close to Capri Point, North Port, and Bismarck Rock. Enjoy the walking. Dala dala is available from the gate of the homestay. We enjoyed a lot.
