Lushoto Tanzania Travel and Hotels Accommodation Guide

Lushoto is the major town and district centre, albeit small, in the Usambara Mountains, halfway between the coast and the parks. We bring you all Hotels and Lodges in this area. It can be reached if turning from the main Dar es Salaam-Moshi road at Mombo. Direct buses run from Dar es Salaam and Arusha. It was founded by the German administration after the people of the area had been "pacified" about one hundred years ago. The Germans even planned to move their capital here because of the pleasant mountain climate.
