"An area of unsurpassed beauty" ... David Livingstone

More than 100 years later, that description of Lake Tanganyika still holds true.

The endless shoreline of Nsumbu National Park offers a haven to wildlife, while the crystal clear blue waters teem with an unparalleled diversity of fish life. In the heart of the Rift valley, the opportunities for discovery and adventure, beauty and relaxation are as endless as African time itself.


Nestled amongst lush tropical vegetation opening onto its own exclusive beach, Ndole Bay Lodge offers visitors a singular African experience on the shores of a unique lake.

With beachside en-suite chalets, non serviced chalets, through to a shaded lake front campsite, the Tanganyika dream becomes affordable to all budgets. A fully stocked bar allows visitors to contemplate the day gone with a cold drink and sumptuous meals are prepared for those not self catering.


A fleet of reliable boats opens the secrets of Tanganyika, while shaded hammocks, sunset paddles and a growing library allows days to slip by. Our hospitality will make you wish time really would stop.
