SPEKE BAY
(Standard Lodge)

Speke Bay Lodge is located on the south-eastern shore of Lake Victoria in Tanzania, East Africa. Lake Victoria is believed to be the source of the Nile. The Lodge looks like a small village, stretched out along the shores of the lake. Explore the Lodge's 100 hectares of savannah.

The main buildings and luxury accommodation are round in form, built to perfection, painted white and thatched with a grass roof in the traditional style of the local tribe, the Sukuma.

KATUMA BUSH LODGE

Katuma Bush Lodge has been designed to blend in with its surroundings to avoid distracting from the beauty of Katavi, and herds of animals can be seen right from your tent. Located in the centre of the park, on an elevated point overlooking the vast plains of Katisunga. Meals are a sumptuous affair, and a variety of dishes are accompanied with tropical fruits and juices. On the last evening of your stay, a barbecue will be served under the shade of tamarind trees, so you can reflect on the unforgettable experiences you’ve had at Katavi while watching the sun setting over the plains.

The lodge consists of spacious and comfortably furnished tents, each with writing desks, lamps, fine linen and ensuite facilities offering hot and cold water.

Activities include game drives, guided walking safaris, and fly camping.

PALAHALA LUXURY CAMP

Palahala Camp is a seasonal camp that is set up for 9 months of the year and is shut down during the rains. A truly exciting experience. There is a spacious dining tent with lounge, bar and library and open terrace overlooking the river and the wonderfully peaceful African bush. Waiters are on hand to see to your every need while experienced chefs create mouth-watering delicacies to tease your taste buds. Evenings around a fire will finish off each day as ice cold drinks are served by our friendly staff.

Palahala has 8 luxury tents all situated on large platforms overlooking the river, with king-sized beds and goose down bedding, hand crafted furniture and extended eco-friendly bathrooms with hot showers. A butler service is available!

CHADA KATAVI

Chada Katavi is the place for the wildlife connoisseur, and the traveler who thinks the African bush can offer up no more surprises. Happily indulged, watching the elephants head out to water as dusk falls, you feel like one of the last great pioneers; binoculars in your hand, Africa filling your head. Chada Katavi sits on the edge of the wide Chada Plain, under a canopy of acacia and tamarind trees. It is a magnet for game, with the best game-viewing seen often from your tent veranda.

Katavi is as dramatic as anywhere you'll ever see, and this is what they try to reflect. Life as an adventure, the world as a living, breathing thing: Man as a detail.

LUKUBA ISLAND LODGE

Situated on Lukuba Island. 13 kilometers off the shore of Lake Victoria in the Musoma District. The lodge encompasses a beautiful view of the rock islands scattered across the channel. Set under masses of large fig trees and flanked by granite monoliths on one of the picturesque Lukuba bays.

5 intricately built stone bungalows with traditional grass thatched roofs, all with lake views.. Most rooms are large enough to convert to a triple room by adding a twin bed. Each room has an en suite bathroom.

A swimming pool is available. Electricity (220v) is provided by a silenced generator (hours are 07:00 to 09:00 am and 18:30 to 23:00). And of course, there is all of Lake Victoria at guests’ disposal, as well as the wilds of the island to explore.

RUBONDO ISLAND CAMP

Rubondo Island Camp lies north of Mwanza, close to the Tanzanian border. Nestled by the shore of Lake Victoria, complete with the lapping of waves against the sand. Rubondo Island Camp is a short drive from the island’s landing strip, the only camp on the island. The restaurant provides good simple food, including fresh fish. Supplies are shipped from Mwanza as food cannot be grown on the island due to its national park status. The bar is well stocked with a selection of wine, spirits, soft drinks and sodas. Sit out on the wooden deck by the shore and enjoy a sundowner.

The camp has ten luxury tented rooms with ensuite bathrooms, hot running water, electricity and a laundry service, despite the remote location. Each room has a private verandah where you can read or relax in peace and watch the bushbuck roam, delicate and graceful through the camp grounds. The camp also has a swimming pool, perfect for a swim during the midday heat.

A selection of books are available for guests to borrow as well as copies of the studies on the island’s chimpanzees.

LUPITA ISLAND LODGE

Nestled on a stunning, 130 acre private island at the Southern end of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania, Africa, Lupita Island offers a spectacularly unique and exclusive holiday experience. This all-inclusive luxury lodge is designed to blend with the local environment.

Each of the 14(fourteen) exquisitely crafted cottages were designed with making your stay as comfortable, private, and memorable as possible.

In addition to the features in the cottages the 2(two) oversized Livingstone and Stanley family cottages offer the following distinctive features; additional sleeping area space, bathrooms, Private plunge pool, Lounge with selection of wines, Bose speakers for Ipod (on request) TV and DVD player and option of private dining. Breathtaking lake and mountain views are only the start. Most spectacularly, each cottage is open to the lake, ensuring balmy breezes and memorable sunsets that will last a lifetime.

The Nomad motto is “LIFE, LOVE AND THE PURSUIT OF WILDERNESS.”

Mahale is an evolutionary triumph, where the clock seems to have stopped early, at the right time. For man - part fish, part forest animal - it couldn't be more sublime.

There are few places left on earth that might rightfully be called Eden, and the Mahale Mountains, on the edge of Lake Tanganyika in western Tanzania, is one of them. On a far-flung beach along the eastern shores of the lake, below a huge story-book tropical forest is the tiny sanctuary of Greystoke Mahale. The water is as clear as crystal, the air scented, and the living very easy indeed.
