Activities
The lodge organises various boat and bike excursions so you can truly experience the local flavour of Africa. The lodge is set in 200 acres of savanna, where you can wander around enjoying the birds and wildlife or you can go on a guided bird walk.
Bird walk
Over 250 species of bush, swamp and water birds have been spotted on the lodge´s 200 acres of savanna. Among them flycatchers, sunbirds, weavers, kingfishers, gonoloks and coucals. African Fish Eagles have a nest in a tree next to the lounge. Many birds are indigenous to this area and will not be seen in the Serengeti. You are free to roam around the extensive gardens. Guided walks are offered twice a day, early morning or late afternoon.
Canoe trip and Lake cruise
Canoe trip: From the lodge you are picked up by local fishermen with their traditional canoes and rowed to the fishing village of Mwaburugu. In a guided walk you can explore the village and get a taste of the way of life.
Lake cruise: Relax and enjoy cruising Speke Bay. On this 2 hour tour you visit the serene area where the Mbalangeti river meets Lake Victoria. Along the way you may see fishermen pulling in their nets and a wide variety of birdlife.
Bicycle trip
Venture out into the heart of Sukuma land on small tracks. You can experience the traditional Tanzanian way of life of small peasants living in tiny villages and get a good picture of what rural Tanzania looks like off the beaten track. The guided trip takes about three hours in the late afternoon when it starts to cool down a little.
