Intro

Spread over a grassy complex overlooking Lake Tanganyika, Kigoma Hilltop Hotel is popular for groups seeking to combine business and pleasure. The hotel is an oasis of tranquility situated just outside the bustling town of Kigoma.

The thatched open-deck Sangara Restaurant is wonderfully scenic and allows for an unforgettable dining experience. Our spectacular flower-shaped swimming pool and private beach offer options for our residents to unwind and relax throughout the day. Specialties include fresh fish with locally grown fruit and vegetables.

In Kigoma, gain insight into the local life at the Katonga Fishing Village. Visit the Dr. Livingstone memorial beneath two ancient mango trees at the site of his former house. The memorial’s caretaker will entertain you with stories of the missionary’s famous expeditions to Africa.

For those traveling on to the world renowned Gombe Stream National Park this is the perfect location to arrange accommodation and boat transport to our luxury lodge, Gombe Forest Lodge.

This is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the inviting atmosphere that offers every modern comfort for the weary traveler. Combine work with leisure in this tranquil setting, at the end of the day relax on your veranda overlooking the lake or cool off in our swimming pool or kayak along our private beach on Lake Tanganyika.
