Kasembo Farms was founded more than 50 years ago by the Shone's family and is now owned and run by the Congregation of the Missionaries of Marianhill. It stretches for about 1,000 acres, and keeps more than 200 Friesian cows (40 are milked), 150 pigs, 2,000 hens for egg laying, and a few thousand chickens for the pot; the so called broilers. The priests who are currently running the farm say that they try leave things as natural as possible. With most of the basic ingredients grown on the farm, it's no surprise that meals are at the Guest house are a highlight in Kasama town.
The Guesthouse is located at the farm, It has 8 chalets, two of which operate as executive lounge with (big double bed, private sitting room, and bathroom and toilet). Of the remaining chalets two are self contained and the others have two rooms per bath/toilet room. PO Box 410040, Kasama. Office tel: 04 221158 (ask for the guesthouse manager);or just drive to town and (ask for Kasembo Supermarket ); You may also do the bookings on email: kasemboguest@gmail.com or kasembofarms@gmail.com
This guesthouse is 8km from the centre of town, on Kasembo Farms, opposite the airport. To get there leave town for the airport and, about 150m after from the airport turn off road, take a left turn down a farm road, signposted to Kasembo. The guesthouse is about 1.5km from that turn-off.The accommodation for visitors (of any creed) consists of the guesthouse and the other house which is usually standing by about 80m apart in a clearing within an old section of indigenous forest. The house apart was originally the family homes of one of the sons of the form owner. Since then, they were extensively renovated in order to take guests. The house has four twin rooms (two are en suite, and two share a shower and a toilet), and highly-polished red cement floors. It has the warmer atmosphere of the two and has a small pool for children and a lovely view over the escarpment. All the rooms both at the main guesthouse are have mosquito nets, electric fans, duvets, blankets and linen. Both are furnished with new pine furniture, made locally in a carpentry workshop in Kasama, and each has its own kitchen, dining room, lounge, a big veranda and ample parking space.

The missionaries make a point of ensuring that the services both offered at farm and at the guesthouse are attentive and discussions with them can give you an interesting insight into agriculture and the interesting touristic areas surrounding the farm. Several types of local beers, wines and spirits are on offer during meals. If you arrive in town and want to stay then ask at the Kasembo Supermarket Shop, which is right across from the central market in town, at the back of MTN or immediately after Airtel-Stores.
