Lazy Lagoon Island Lodge - Indian Ocean

Watch the local fishing fleet move slowly out to sea while waking up to another day of snorkelling over coral reefs, sailing on the Indian Ocean breezes, visiting historical sites, or just soaking up the sun. Wind down to the sight of the returning fleet bringing in the catch for dinner. - Just another blissful day at Lazy Lagoon.

Large airy rooms, wide shaded verandas, moon lit dinners down on the beach, peace and tranquillity are just some of the reasons for spending a romantic few days on Lazy Lagoon. 12 self contained beach bandas with twin or double beds Upper loft can be lounge area or bedroom accommodation for children Private shaded verandah Room Service Complimentary laundry service Tea/Coffee available on request Generator for electricity until 11pm.

Hailing the returning ngalawas to choose the 'pick of the catch' is a short step away from catching it yourself, but a lot less time consuming. We prefer our chefs to devote their time to creating fabulous seafood dishes and imaginative menus. Food is abundant and varied. Breakfast is a choice of eggs prepared to your order, accompanied by sausage, beans and tomato, or pancakes and syrup, or oatmeal. Fresh bread, buns, juice, tea and coffee. Lunch is a two course meal prepared to your order Dinner is three course menu with a variety of seafood, meat and vegetarian dishes.

What a view! - you may not wish to move from here all day, with the sun rising over Zanzibar and setting behind the palm tree lined mainland, drinks from the bar and meals in the restaurant, it doesn't get much more relaxing than this.

Activities
If sun worshipping, swimming and snorkelling are not enough for you; try kayaking to explore the lagoon and mangrove forest, a sunset dhow safari to nearby sand islands and the coral reef, or a visit to the nearby historical town of Bagamoyo.

Sunset Dhow Safari
At 5.30pm while the sun is starting to droop, we will take you by boat to a deserted sandy beach, where your host, will take you on a short evening stroll. On your return the chairs will be ready and the 'bubbly' on ice - sundowners surrounded by Indian Ocean.

Sailing/Boating
The island has a Laser I and a Laser II sailing dinghy for use by resident guests, plus windsurfers. Alternatively you can book a half day trip around the Lagoon to experience sailing the traditional Swahili way in a locally made 'Ngalawa'. There are also a couple of kayak canoes, which are great for a more leisurely paddle around the lagoon and to explore the outer reaches of the island.

Swimming/Snorkelling
The island is protected by coral reef, and so not only does it avoid long periods when the tide is out, but it also has snorkelling from the beach. Snorkelling equipment is available to borrow.

Nature Trails
The island forms a small private nature reserve, and there are many resident small mammals; bushbabies, wildpigs, genets, baboons, duiker and suni antelope to be found amongst the indigenous forest and mangrove. Morning and evening walks are recommended to avoid the heat of the day. Bird life and flowers are abundant.
