Room choice, availability & quotation
Availability is checked for your actual travel dates. The final proposal identifies the room category, meal basis, transfers and any activities, with supplements shown before you confirm.
Which room category will I stay in?
The proposal names your room category at Mbali Mbali Gombe Lodge, together with the bed setup and occupancy. Photographs show the property rather than a guaranteed room allocation. A particular view, connecting room or additional bed needs explicit confirmation.
Can this stay work for families or guests with specific access needs?
Tell us the ages of children, the room arrangement you prefer and any mobility requirements before booking. We will check the property’s current policies, walking distances and room access. Facilities and minimum ages can vary by category and activity.
Are activities and meals included in the room price?
The meal basis, activities and transfers depend on the final package. Your quotation separates included services from optional extras, so that a room booking is not mistaken for an all-inclusive activity programme.
