Mambo and Jambo is most of a home place where you can cook and do all home activities,It makes you feel more like home.
She is a very social person and like to spend time with her guests upon their will.
The house is so close to Tilapia hotel where you can get meals,swimming pool and the best view of lake Victoria.
