Located in the town of Njombe, Lukelo Lodge will present a unique opportunity for international travelers to experience Tanzanian life through hands-on, interactive activities such as cooking, crafts, market trips, hiking excursions and more, all while making a positive contribution to the local community.
Lukelo Lodge will be owned, designed and developed by members of the Njombe community. Profits from the lodge will be invested in development projects that benefit the surrounding area.
The physical design of the lodge will center on sustainability. All construction materials will be bought locally. Building will be consistent with the area's traditional architecture. Mud bricks will be used in construction and lumber will be sustainably harvested on-site. We will also implement rainwater harvesting and storage systems, renewable energy sources and organic farming techniques.
