Book an Experience
At Gilead Cliff Lodge, every stay is more than rest. It’s an invitation to step into the stories, landscapes, and traditions of the Usambara Mountains. Choose an experience that speaks to you:
Mountain Hikes
Mlima Msalabani. A semi-intense climb to Mlalo’s highest hilltop, crowned with a steel cross planted in the 1800s, visible from the valley below. A historic landmark and a spiritual symbol of endurance.
Mlima Kiyangwi A gentler trail once walked by villagers and churchgoers during Easter mornings, where trumpets once echoed across the mountains.
Village Tours
Explore the neighbouring villages and the rolling hills and valleys of Rangwi, discovering the everyday rhythms of life in the Usambara highlands.
Cultural Immersion
Attend a service at the historic Mlalo Mission Church, founded in 1891 by German missionaries, and join the unique end-of-service auction, a tradition of fellowship that continues to this day.
Market Days
On Wednesdays and Saturdays, experience the vibrant heartbeat of Mlalo’s market, where colors, voices, and aromas weave together the spirit of community and trade.
