Dining
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 three course meal prepared to your order.
Dinner is three course menu with a variety of fresh 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 snorkeling 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, when the sun is starting to droop, we can organize a boat to take you 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 the serene Indian Ocean. |
 |
Sailing/Boating
The island has a Laser I and a Laser II sailing dinghy for use by resident guests, plus windsurfers.
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.
Alternatively let the local fishermen take you sailing in their traditional Ngalawa fishing boats to explore the lagoon or, if the conditions allow, they will venture further out to show you their fishing grounds in the Zanzibar channel of the Indian Ocean. |

Swimming/Snorkeling
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 snorkeling from the beach. Snorkeling equipment is available to borrow.
Nature Trails
The island forms a small private nature reserve, and there are many resident small mammals; bushbabies, wild pigs, genets, baboons, duiker and suni antelope to be found amongst the indigenous forest and mangrove. Bird life and flowers are abundant. |

Being on the coast, Lazy Lagoon enjoys a truly tropical climate. There is no best time to visit and the lodge remains open all year round. |

How to get to the Lazy Lagoon
Lazy Lagoon can be reached by road from Dar es Salaam, a trip of just under an hour. This is followed by a short motor boat trip across the 2km stretch of sea to reach the island. Traditional boarding methods and an element of shallow paddling may be required to get to the boat!
