A
small village the perfectly fits in the beauties of the place having only
ten bungalows (each bungalow has four rooms) with the typical Makuti roof
and furnishings that exalt the local taste and traditions with canopy beds
provided with mosquito-nets and other accessories all carved in precious
wood. Guests are also delighted with a refined cuisine enriched by typical
local specialities, grilled food and buffets, all served in a gorgeous
restaurant in a beautiful veranda overlooking the sea. Every day is a different
discovery. How could one not get excited by an excursion on the Ruvu River
that, after about a 30-minute drive through the Bush, sailing along the
mangroves' forests and, when possible, going upstream, finally offers a
priceless encounter with hippos, crocodiles and birds of all species? How
could one not get exalted in front of the Mbegani's lagoon thanks to the
inland navigation among the several unspoilt islets and small canals sided
by mangroves with a rich bird fauna, waiting to admire the gorgeous colours
of the African sunset?
Guests
will also be delighted with a pleasant tour of Bagamoyo where they will
visit the ancient palaces and the ruins that go back to the XIX century,
when Bagamoyo was the capital of the Eastern Africa's German company. The
Catholic mission is east Africa's oldest and still has a museum devoted
to the freeing of the slaves and to the explorers Burton, Livingstone,
Stanley and Spike who lived here and also organised their inland expeditions.
Just
as charming are the town centre, the market of fruits and spices and the
picturesque fish market.
Spend
some time at Mlingotini, a peaceful village where fishermen build typical
boats called “Ngalawa” (canoes with a balancing pole) on the beach.
Now
and then, it will also be possible to see the propitiatory rites of a Mwganga
(the doctor of the forest or medicine man).
If
your curiosity continues to be strong, you can visit the ruins of Kaole,
do the Bush tour, see Bagamoyo's theatre and the old mission's mass. End
your trip by staying at Manbwakuni's atoll and snorkelling in the coral
reef.
After
a 40 minute navigation, you'll reach a wonderful atoll of snow-white sand
that surfaces during the low tide, the ideal place for a sun bath and to
swim in a splendid warm sea.
