Die Anlage ist wie ein Botanischer Garten. So viele verschiedene Baumarten und Blumen. Alles ist grün und sehr gepflegt. Die Lodge wird von einem Deutschen geführt.

My best destination in Bagamoyo. Well kept gardens, professionally manicured. The coconut palms towering above the well kept pemba grass lawns result to amazing Unique Selling Propositions. Congratulations to the Landscaper!

An excellent campsite for campers and overlanders! The grounds are beautifully maintained with soft green grass, perfect for pitching a tent or parking up. The washrooms are very clean and even have hot water, which is a real treat after a long day on the road. The staff are warm, friendly, and always ready to help. A place I’d happily return to and highly recommend.

Drei tolle Nächte in der Travellers Lodge! Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit super gepflegtem Garten, ganz nah am Strand. Das Essen war richtig lecker, der Service freundlich und hilfsbereit. Laufnähe zum Markt. Wir haben uns total wohl und sicher gefühlt. Und sie haben uns kurzfristig geholfen, nachdem uns ein Fahrer abgesagt hat. Danke! Sehr empfehlenswert!

Hatte mein Zelt auf schönem Gras unter wunderbaren Palmen aufgeschlagen. Die Toilette und Dusche konnte ich in einer Hütte nutzen. Das Anwesen ist wunderbar mit einer Parkanlage zu vergleichen. Es ist durch die vielen Bäume ein sehr angenehmes Klima. Es gibt einen direkten Zugang zum Strand der hauptsächlich von Fischern genutzt wird. Preiswert und es gibt ein Restaurant mit Bar. In jedem Fsll zu empfehlen. Auch die Bandas sind toll.

Toller Garten, der richtiges Urwaldfeeling gibt und überall Frangipani-Bäume - ein Traum. Die Unterkunft ist direkt am Strand. Überall sind Geckos 😍 (die sind sehr nützlich, weil sie Mücken essen). Unterkunft war besenrein. Einige Löcher in den Mückennetzen. Nur das Bad wurde nicht geputzt. Wir hatten kein Wasser im Badezimmer. Schöner Gemeinschaftsbereich mit WLAN. Essen war 5/5 und die Bediensteten sehr nett und gut drauf.

Pesce fresco. Servizio ottimo. Location incantevole.
OUR STORY

Forty-five coconut palms and thorny sand dunes on the Wild East Coast – that was all we found here in the summer of 1991. Construction began in ‘92 with a store and a few simple rooms to accommodate guests.

Year after year Travellers Lodge has grown, combining beautiful local materials with the knowledge of local craftsmen and our own inspiration. The gardens have become a tropical forest with a unique collection of indigenous and exotic trees and over 100 palm species.

After almost 30 years of love, laughter and resilience, we are the oldest continuously running hotel in Bagamoyo. Guests feel at home in the peaceful atmosphere of Travellers Lodge Bagamoyo.

ACCOMMODATION

Cool, airy, secluded bungalows with spacious verandah ~ all en-suite with hot water and quiet air conditioner, fan, double beds and mosquito nets. Rooms are simple, yet comfortable and well maintained. Be enchanted by seaviews with graceful wooden dhows from times gone by, or drink in the peace of the lush, tropical gardens.

RESTAURANT AND BAR

Surrounded by abundant tropical gardens, the restaurant features famous Makonde carvings and an impressive palm-thatched roof with hardwood logs.

Our kitchen is well known for delicious, hearty and homemade dishes, all prepared from fresh ingredients. Favorites include bacon-cheese beef burgers, crab surprise and beef strognov, served with skinny fries, mash or coconut rice.

Vegetarians can enjoy organic stir fry vegies with cashew nuts and coconut rice or vegie curries with chapatis.

Fishermen supply us with fresh catch as the dhows come in.  Signature dishes include our mouth-watering Fisherman’s Platter and Seafood Fondue for two. We also offer delicious grills and buffets for groups.

Our well-stocked bar welcomes you to an extensive selection of wines, spirits and non-alcoholic beverages. Or simply unwind with an icy beer in the relaxed and easy-going atmosphere. 

CONFERENCES

Travellers Lodge offers a unique venue for meetings and retreats. The conference room seats 25 people. Tea-breaks and meals are served in our charming restaurant overlooking the gardens. The pleasant atmosphere, welcoming & efficient service, a well-stocked bar & good food create the ideal ambience for collaboration and teambuilding.

CAMPING

The cool, tree-shaded and secure grounds of Travellers Lodge welcome private travellers with tents and overlanders with private vehicles. We provide shower & toilet facilities. Guests are welcome to all lodge amenities and WiFi in the restaurant/bar.

We arrange transfers, music performances and local tours for our guests on request.

Visit Bagamoyo historical stone town, Kaole Ruins, the Museum, College of Arts for lively music festivals, or art and spice markets. We can help arrange snorkelling off a nearby sandbank, or Saadani river safari and/or game drives.
