Explore the reef in our backyard
Explore the Reef in Our Backyard
Forget the “big five” for a moment! Here, the real magic is in the tiny wonders of the reef. Snorkel among colorful fish, peek into tidal pools, and discover a hidden world full of surprises and life.
Wander along the coastline at low tide. Marvel at unusual rocks, sneak into hidden caves, and splash in natural tidal pools. Every step is a mini-adventure, revealing a new corner of our coastal paradise. (Water shoes available in EU 35–47 / UK 3–12.)
When the tide is high and the currents are gentle, jump in for a swim or snorkel right here at the lodge. The ocean is your playground — ready to be explored.
Snorkeling Trip to Maziwe Island
Hop aboard a local fisherman’s boat and let the adventure begin! Set off from our lodge with a local fisherman and dive into a world of colour and life at Maziwe Island. Swim among vibrant corals, spot tropical fish, and explore the untouched beauty of this marine paradise.
Feel the gentle sea breeze on your face and enjoy the sparkling views during the boat ride. Keep an eye out for playful dolphins that might join you along the way!
Once you arrive, the island is yours to explore. Lounge on the beach, snorkel through the reefs, or simply soak up the sun, every moment blends relaxation with adventure.
Snorkeling gear is available for rent at the lodge, ready for you to dive in and explore.
The Village Walk Experience
Step into the heart of local life!
Just a 10-minute stroll from the lodge, the charming village of Kikokwe awaits, where the rhythm of daily life feels like a step back in time. Guided by one of our team members, who grew up in the village, you’ll not only explore the surroundings but truly connect with the people and their way of life.
Visit families, share a drink in a typical local pub, and enjoy a firsthand glimpse into everyday village life. Don’t miss the town’s only souvenir shop, where a talented local wood artisan transforms coconut wood into exquisite pieces of art.
This isn’t just a walk, it’s a personal journey into the traditions, stories, and warmth of Kikokwe.
Pangani Cultural Tour
Step back in time and explore Pangani!
Nestled along the Tanzanian coast, Pangani is a town full of stories, history, and charm. Once a bustling trading port, its aged buildings and weathered streets now whisper tales of Swahili, Arab, and European influences.
Hop on the ferry, a local experience in itself, and join our 2-hour guided tour. Wander through the harbour and along cobbled streets, admire carved wooden doors and balconies, and let the town’s faded grandeur take you back to another era.
Learn about Pangani’s role in history, including the sobering chapter of the slave trade, as you visit the Old Slave Market and other historical sites. Every corner offers a glimpse into the rich culture and heritage that make Pangani unique.
