About the host
Hosted by Omary Mmbaga
Hosting is more than a business for me it's a passion. I enjoy meeting people from different parts of the world, learning about their cultures, and helping them experience the beauty and tranquility of the Usambara Mountains.
Beyond hosting, I hold a Master's Degree in Health Economics and Policy and a Bachelor's Degree in Public Administration in Health Systems. These academic and professional experiences have shaped my commitment to excellence, attention to detail, and caring for people's well-being.
I am also a small-scale farmer, which keeps me closely connected to nature and my local community. Farming has taught me the value of sustainability, hard work, and appreciating the simple joys of life. It also allows me to share authentic local experiences with guests and, whenever possible, introduce them to fresh local produce and the rich agricultural traditions of the Usambara Mountains.
My goal is for every guest to feel more like a friend than a visitor. Whether you come to relax, explore, work remotely, or celebrate a special occasion, I look forward to welcoming you with genuine Tanzanian hospitality and making your stay comfortable, memorable, and truly unique.
