College and Individual Groups

Colleges and individual groups can use this facility for adventure trips like mountaineering, excursions, “home away from home” trips, and team building sessions.

NGO’s

Since Longido is a developing district, many NGO’s are coming in to set up projects in the village and can use the guesthouse for accommodation and holding meetings. Its proximity to an internet café ensures that there is continuity in communication.

Government Officials

With its new status as a district, several government offices that will set up in the village and its surroundings can use the guesthouse for their meetings.

Tour Companies and Operators

Enroute between Arusha and Nairobi, the guesthouse can be used by visitors and tour operators as a stop over point for visitors. Cold drinks can be purchased. Travellers may purchase gifts and artefacts at the guesthouse duka. This small shop is stocked with hand made products by the women’s groups of Longido and Kimokouwa through the Micro-Business programme run by TEMBO Trust.
