Speke Bay Lodge Attractions |
The farm is bordered by two rivers, each filled with towering trees, a habitat the owners are committed to preserve. In addition to horses, they raise cattle and pigs. Their produce comes from their own garden (the bounty of which they happily share with monkeys, bush duikers and a myriad of other small creatures).

Speke Bay Lodge Facilities |
Embraced by savannah, the Lodge looks like a small village, stretched out along the shores of the lake. The main buildings and luxury accommodation are round in form, built to perfection, painted white and thatched with a grass roof in the traditional style of the local tribe, the Sukuma. All eight bungalows are situated along the shore of the lake. Each bungalow is a separate structure designed to ensure your privacy. The roofs are also thatched with a thick layer of grass, providing excellent insulation. The custom-made furniture in solid Mkola wood adds to the warm and elegant atmosphere. An entrance hall gives access to a bathroom and a spacious main room. This room has a sleeping area with a large lockable cupboard (for your clothes and valuables) and a writing table. The sitting area has a huge French window opening on to a bougainvillaea- and passionflower- shaded veranda where your breakfast can be served. Each bungalow has a loft with two twin beds, making them suitable for families with children. The bathroom has a large table with a build-in basin, a spacious shower and a hygienic wall mounted toilet. All the appliances and fittings are the best on the market. For hot water solar panels are used, but thermostat steered electrical elements have been installed, for use on cloudy days. The water system is state of the art, with a large sand filter, UV-treatment, and Ozone-injection. Bottled drinking water is available. Since the Lodge is outside but close to the Serengeti National Park, it is the ideal place to start or end your safari, or relax during your travels.
