Imagine a private island in the Indian Ocean, the waves lapping the white sandy beach just metres from your bed. The day stretches ahead with promises of sun, snorkeling and mangrove exploration, just interrupted by freshly prepared meals.
Lazy Lagoon features 12 en suite beach bandas with twin or double beds, and an upstairs ‘loft’ with two twin beds, ideal for older children.
Each spacious banda has both an upstairs balcony and a porch with unimpeded sea views and access straight on to the beach.
There can’t be many more relaxing ways to start a day than to watch the early morning ngalawas go out fishing, whilst sipping a coffee on your own veranda, or walking down to the beach to look in rock pools in your pyjamas!
Lazy Lagoon is built using local materials and using traditional Swahili architecture. All the buildings have tall steep roofs designed to catch the sea breezes , keeping the room cool in the East African heat. Activities include sailing, snorkeling, kayaking and swimming. It's an ideal place to unwind before going on safari, or to recover after all the early starts on safari.
Being an island, Lazy Lagoon is only accessible by boat. The boat crosses several times per day so a ferry is arranged to take guests across on the most convenient crossing. Lazy Lagoon is 70km north of Dar es Salaam and accessed from Mbegani Fisheries Institute.
