Bongo Camping´s new hot water system will soon be available for visitors. Right at this moment we are building a local construction for effectively heating up bathing water. This new service will propably be suiting many guests who camp up in our Southern Highlands, where temperatures may drop to around 10 degrees during nights. The traveller quoted below stayed at Bongo Camping for three days in July 2011, at a time when we were still only dreaming about a hot water system:
"I got straight a cold coming from the warm Malawian lakeshore to the southern highlands of Tanzania. I stayed three days in Tukuyu at Bongo Camping.
The campsite has been sponsored by a Danish organization. I was the only guest and even if I had bucket shower and the light was coming and going and everything was a bit dodgy I stayed there and enjoyed my time. The two guys running the camping, William and Ebrahim really appreciate to have a guest, cooked not bad and William made his best to show me around.
I wanted to kill him the second day when we went for a supposed little bicycle tour that turned out in an 8 hours tour up and down the hills
At Malasusa Falls
Anyway, my cold was gone the next day, sometimes it helps to do some exercise and sweat to get healthy again.
I have never seen so many bananas in my life and also in the restaurants there were bananas in all dishes, cooked, fried, spiced.
I really laughed the first day when Ebrahim brought me my supper and I said to him "cool bananas" like we use to say in south Africa and he told me “sorry but we haven't got bananas tonight”. And I tried to explain him that it is just a way of saying “good job”.. and the next day I ordered the same meal and there were two little bananas on the plate..
The third morning it was a Monday and when I woke up I found out that they were using the building of the camping site as a primary school and I had lots of curious kids staring at me while I was packing my stuff to leave."

We bet our visitor was longing for hot water as we were dreaming about providing this undeniably famous service. Now the hot water system will finally be heating up the chilly mornings at Bongo Camping. So pop in for a hot shower! The photo of August 2011 shows the brick construction at Bongo Camping which lays the foundation of the local system to heat up bathing water.
