If you are looking for secluded, beautiful and restful, this could be the place for you. However it is located far from any town and further from many of the sites we chose to visit.

"They did not have our booking(pre paid) which is understandable somewhat because they are out in the middle of no where, but there was no attempt on the staffs part to help fix the problem. we ended up leaving 1.5 hours later than we wanted and paid with a Card(got a refund from Hotels.com). the hotel needs to have better service. The refund from hotels.com was easy and service on there side great."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Mbesi?
The best area to stay in Mbesi is within the central Mbesi town area, which offers the most convenience and access to local amenities.

This area is the heart of Mbesi, where most of the guesthouses, local eateries, and shops are located. It's a compact town, making it easy to navigate on foot. The main road, often unpaved, runs through the centre, connecting various establishments. You'll find the local market and community services here.

For independent travellers looking for a practical base, staying in Mbesi town is ideal. It provides direct access to local transportation for exploring the surrounding Manyara Region and offers a straightforward experience of local life.

When is the best time to go to Mbesi?
The best time to go to Mbesi is during the dry season, which runs from June to October.

During these months, the weather is generally sunny and dry, making it ideal for wildlife viewing. The vegetation is sparser, and animals tend to congregate around water sources, making them easier to spot. This period also offers pleasant temperatures, superb for enjoying outdoor activities like safaris and walks.

For travellers prioritising exceptional wildlife viewing and comfortable conditions, planning a trip during this dry season is highly recommended.
