A restful stop in the msasa woodland.
Imba Matombo sits among the msasa trees of Glen Lorne, in Harare's northern suburbs — a restful boutique lodge and bed and breakfast. Days drift between the terrace, the pool and the sunset deck, with breakfast in the morning sun and quiet afternoons under the trees. Weekends bring braais by the pool: fire-grilled food, cold drinks, and space to stay a while.
A hotel that breathes.
Fifteen en-suite rooms set in mature gardens above Harare. A restaurant and pool-bar terrace open to all. Outdoor event spaces for weddings and celebrations. A spa, a lounge, a veranda for morning coffee, and private dining rooms for the occasions that matter. Imba Matombo has grown with its grounds — warm, unhurried, and deeply Zimbabwean.
Moments held with care.
Weddings under the msasa trees, meetings in the round, celebrations in spaces that feel like home.

Places to land, places to work, places to gather.
Beyond the rooms and restaurant, the lodge has a series of signature spaces — free to use for anyone staying, dining, or simply dropping in for the day.
A hotel held lightly on the land.
30 kW of solar powers the property, every panel registered on the Marillion Solar app. Carbon savings are logged in real time, and the resulting credits are reinvested directly back into Imba Matombo.
Water is drawn from deep, solar-powered boreholes. Kitchen waste is composted on site, and our menus lean heavily on local growers and producers — shortening supply chains and cutting the carbon cost of imported goods.
