With visibilities of up to 25 m, the diving and snorkelling here is spectacular and completely unique. We also offer adventure activities including fishing, kayaking, quad biking, mountain biking, walks to one of the oldest churches in Tanzania, birding along the river, and waterskiing. However, this is also the perfect place to simply relax in a hammock, watch the local fishermen and the slow changes of the lake, and do absolutely nothing. Join us for a delicious meal at our on-site Funky Mango Bar and Restaurant. We offer international cuisine, prepared with fresh ingredients from our organic farm and nearby located markets. Enjoy your favourite cocktail or curl up with a good book in our cosy lounge. We would love to show you our world.
