Kigoma Hilltop Hotel – Mid-Range Hotel in Kigoma, Tanzania

About Kigoma Hilltop Hotel

Kigoma Hilltop Hotel sits on a peaceful rocky outcrop in acres of lush gardens on the eastern shores of Lake Tanganyika, the world’s second-deepest lake, just outside Kigoma town in western Tanzania. The hotel is the principal gateway accommodation for travellers heading into Tanzania’s western parks Gombe Stream National Park (for chimpanzee trekking) and Mahale Mountains National Park (for chimps and Lake Tanganyika) both accessible by boat from Kigoma. The hotel is also managed in association with Mbali Mbali Lodges and Camps.

Thirty cottage-style rooms are arranged across the hilltop with private balconies offering lake views. The flower-shaped swimming pool, private beach, two restaurants (including the open-deck poolside Sangara Restaurant serving freshly caught Nile Perch), gym, tennis court, and conference venues make it a full-service property well suited to both leisure travellers and conferencing groups. The hotel is fully Tanzanian-owned and operated, with a strong community commitment including support for local schools, water wells, and health clinics. Note: the hotel is a dry property and does not serve alcoholic beverages on site.
