Three senior staff of the Diocese of Tarime, five (area) rural deans, and four other clergy in the furthest parts of the Diocese now use motorcycles for travel within their parishes and the diocese to carry out pastoral and administrative functions.

The story of how the Lord Jesus Christ has made this provision for us is humbling. In 2010 the diocese purchased a used motorcycle using its own local funds to help facilitate the work of the Diocesan Secretary. In July 2011, a visiting mission team from overseas donated one motorcycle to the Diocese. In 2014, another mission team visited Tarime and donated two more motorcycles. In 2016, a partner gave us funds for three motorcycles. Then in 2017, another overseas mission team donated four new motorcycles. Bishop Mwita says “I am very grateful to all our partners – faithful men and women – who have made sacrifices to facilitate clergy travel and ministry in Tarime.”

Mogabiri has all the advantages that guests who want to relax are looking for. It is a quiet place in rural setting, yet close to the town. One can see lots of banana and avocado plant along the road leading to the centre and beyond.  Mogabiri has a pleasant cool weather due to its location in Tarime plateau, and is about 1500 metres above sea level.

It is overlooking the Mara River valley where Acacia Mining North Mara Gold Mine is located. The spectacular view of the valley is breathtaking.”
