About 20km northwest of Korogwe at Msimbazi village is the signposted turn-off for Lutindi and the Lutindi Cultural Tourism Project. Lutindi is the site of the first mental hospital in East Africa, and you can arrange a tour through the compound, visit the workshops where some residents are employed at craft making, walk in the surrounding tea plantations and gain insights into a side of local life far removed from general tourism.
There’s a simple guesthouse (per person Tsh25,000), with breakfast, lunch and dinner available (Tsh3000 to Tsh7000). Take a dalla-dalla (minibus) from Korogwe for about 6km to Welei village. You’ll need to walk the remaining 7km from here. Taxis from Korogwe to Lutindi charge about Tsh35,000.
