ウテングル コーヒー ロッジ(Utengule Coffee Lodge)

We were on an Epic self-drive Trans-Africa Overland adventure heading here from Iringa, seeking a good night's rest before the Final push to Tunduma & the scourge of Border-Crossings. Drive proved longer and tougher than envisaged - my fault. What a revelation this place proved. I really did not know what to expect, but the Lady on the phone was so charming, and it was ideally positioned for Tunduma etc, so Go for it. Parked-up on the Heli Pad (Yes there really is one), safe, flat, secure, inside Gates, next to Tennis & Squash Courts & ablutions. Restaurant and Bar were just up a few steps from the Heli-pad (Yes we opted for both - someone else's turn) - positioned alongside an array of rooms - it is a Hotel afterall. Fabulous sunset finished the evening off beautifully. Good value-for-money. Highly recommended (We were not Hotel Guests - just Campers, to be quite clear & that explains why we had so many 'Unsures' on the Qs)
