Lazy Lagoon Island Lodge is located 70 km north of Dar es Salaam and just south of Bagamoyo. Lazy Lagoon lies at the end of a thin spit of land that forms a lagoon of azure waters offshore from mainland Bagamoyo, boasting 9km of deserted beach.

Lazy Lagoon Island can be reached by road from Dar es Salaam, a trip of just under an hour. This is followed by a short motorboat trip across the 2km stretch of sea to reach the island. Alternatively, a charter flight from Dar es Salaam will land at a private airstrip from where it is a 20-minute boat ride to the island.

The mangrove forests of Lazy Lagoon Island form a private nature reserve with many resident small mammals including Duiker and Suni Antelope. Underwater lies a world of sea creatures, coral, and fish, which can be seen in rock pools at low tide.

The lodge 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.

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 accesses straight onto 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.

The main dining and living area is spacious and airy, with high ceilings and cool wooden floors; the perfect escape from the midday sun. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served here, with each table enjoying sea views.

Soak up the evening sun in the upstairs sunset lounge, which overlooks the swimming pool and the Indian Ocean beyond. The Swahili-style daybeds are perfect for the quintessential safari pre-dinner.

Activities from the lodge include; snorkeling to kayaking, historical trips to Bagamoyo or sun-drenched dhow trips, Swimming, Fishing, Flora, and Fauna Sailing. Diving can be arranged with the nearby diving center.
