Muller's Mountain Lodge Amongst the early settlers in the Usambara was Grant, a retired forestry
officer and provincial commissioner one of whose hobbies was carpentry. In 1935
he built his home, later called 'Grant's Lodge', located at 1700m amongst the rolling, forested hills above Lushoto - the main
town of the region. The lodge is solidly built of brick and is renowned for its
splendid and well-cared for woodwork and furniture. In the 1970's Grant left Tanzania and eventually the lodge was taken over by
the Muller family who gave it its present name.
Around the lodge are pleasant gardens and lawns amonst shady trees. Numerous
walks are available in the area (guided or unguided) offering excellent bird
watching opportunities and of considerable botanical interest. The walks are
well-documented and guide sheets are available at the lodge. The local guide
and expert, Francis, is 70 years old and very hard to keep up with even on a
long mountain walk. The cuisine is excellent and the atmosphere tranquil and very relaxing .
Evenings can be spent in the comfortable sitting room by a log fire. There is a
small library and a collection of games.
