Experience world class hospitality, delicious food and wine and wonderful accommodation where no detail is overlooked.

Where to start with Musangano Lodge!? This absolute GEM of a place is not one to overlook. We were making a journey at a personally difficult time for us all, and found it to be close to our route so inquired and lucky for us there was a lodge free.
We were met by Assistant Manager Bright who was very kind and who showed us a couple of choices, which was incredibly kind as he realised on meeting us that one of our party had mobility issues, so he showed us a lodge with ramp and railing which we chose as it was better for us. This professionalism and attention to detail is wonderful.
We had an incredible lunch which was exquisite. The menu offers both modern European and traditional Zimbabwean dishes spoiling guests with such excellent and fresh ingredients we decided to add another night. Every meal we had we really looked forward to and enjoyed and the wine choices are superb. The surrounding gardens with spectacular sculptures and succulents are beautiful and watching the birds while eating breakfast was a wonderful treat.
The hotel has lovely design touches including art and photography that really piqued our interest and didn’t make it feel anything but very carefully thought about at every point. The WiFi was very good and meant we felt connected when we wanted to be.
The lodge was wonderfully designed and so spacious! A lovely view and veranda, and a great BBQ area if you wanted to indulge in a BBQ.
The rooms are so thoughtfully designed, wonderful showers, fabulous beds and bedding, very well equipped kitchen, great dining area, comfortable lounge area with generous seating, and there is nothing that has not been thought about.
The cleaning team - Kudawash (sorry the spelling is probably incorrect!) we met and there were several - were fantastic, as were the chef and Lionel who checked what our orders would be in advance. We loved the attention to detail that each and every member paid to their part in this wonderful place.
The swimming pool was wonderful, very quiet and with sun loungers and chairs and table and shade for relaxing in as well as sunny areas for those sun worshippers amongst us!
While we were there we had an accident with our car - totally down to us - but we were immediately helped with absolutely no fuss by both Bright and Leonard (the General Manager). They simply could not have been kinder, nor more caring; nor more professional and reassuring. They truly took control and helped us with the issues we had and were the absolute example of compassion and professionalism. Thank you so so much to both Bright and Leonard who we can’t thank enough, and of course to the miracle worker Thomas the mechanic!
If you take the 1.5km trip off the road from Mutare to Harare to Musangano Lodge you will be so glad you visited this beautiful place with an ethos and values that are to be respected and admired and which are present in every action their wonderful team carry out every day whilst looking after their guests. We are so grateful to have visited - thank you all for your care, compassion and excellent hospitality ❤️ we will be back

Lovely, peaceful and comfortable gateway in the Eastern Highlands

Musangano is an all round beautiful place. We were a family of 10 and booked 2 lodges and had a lovely Christmas at Musangano. The staff was very friendly and patient, the food was always fresh and yummy and our lodges were always cleaned on time. The wifi speed was good, allowing us to stay in touch with family and friends when we were away.
We carried our hiking shoes and enjoyed the hike trails in the mornings. The kids loved the swimming pool and trampoline on site.
We will go back to Musangano again and won't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful gateway in the Eastern Highlands. Keep up the good work Musangano.

Great family break

We had a fabulous stay at Musangano. The service is really great, the staff are well-trained, friendly and very helpful.
The menu in the restaurant is exceptional and there was nothing that was not available (which is a common problem in Zimbabwe).
Our family lodge was very spacious, comfortable and well appointed for a wonderful view.
Kitchen was well equipped with everything thought of - including quality cutlery!
Linen and towels are top quality too......
Absolutely nothing to fault here!
Excellent wi-fi for those who need to keep in touch.....
Plenty hot and cold water - solar water geysers, gas cooker...generator...
.....and....good value!
The Lodge is close to other attractions too - such at the National Trust of Zimbabwe sites, La Rochelle (Penhalonga), Fort Goma (Penhalonga), Murawah's Hill (Mutare) and World's View (Nyanga).....Tony's Coffee Shop in the Vumba...

NOTHING TO REPORT

Isolated LODGE, little competition, little traffic
the boxes are well established and comfortable, difficulties of internet reception
simple but full breakfast
Dinner tasteless dishes but how to do when the Inn is isolated:first evening we were alone and the second there were 3 tables
