Kungwe Beach Lodge

Set deep in the heart of the African interior on a stretch of secluded golden beach, Kungwe Beach Lodge is the perfect blend of comfort and luxury in a romantic setting. With the chain of wild, jungle-draped mountains as a background, the lodge is ideally positioned along the beach with beautiful views of Lake Tanganyika.

The light, airy and spacious tents are scattered along the beach and furnished in the traditional African safari style. The secluded patio's offer wide views extending over the lake. Each tent features an en-suite bathroom with a shower and a full range of guest amenities.

The raised thatched mes, in the shape of a Dhouw boat, is where most meals are served. It also offers a cosy lounge area with a small selection of books and board games for lazy afternoons. Guests can enjoy sun downers and share their adventures of the day around a crackling fire.

If a day's chimp trekking wasn't enough, boat safaris, kayaking, snorkeling in the shallows along the shore, and fishing excursions are also on offer - this part of Lake Tanganyika offers some of the best fresh water fishing in Tanzania.

Candlelit barbecue dinners are served on the beach, with the unique sounds of Africa in the background.
