We are affiliated to PADI (Professional Association of Dive Instructors) and are the only registered dive operation on Lake Tanganyika. Our Dive Instructor, our dive instructor, will be your guide during your stay here with us.

• Full day diving excursions: Join us for a whole day of fun with 2 dives at different locations and a delicious picnic lunch.
• Half day dive trips: Enjoy either a morning or afternoon dive at one of our untouched dive spots. This leaves the rest of the day free for a siesta, relaxation or more adventure.

After a day of diving we will take you to a pristine bay where your campsite will be set up for the evening. You will be greeted by the warm glow of a fire, the wonderful aroma of your dinner on the coals……..hot showers and a warm bed. This is what life is all about!

• 2-Day Quad bike safaris between Katavi National Park and Lake Tanganyika: Nothing beats the feeling of freedom quite like the open road on a quad bike. Your safari will take you through the Katavi National Park to your private tented camp. The next day you will journey down the escarpment, through the Lafwe Game Reserve to Lake Shore Lodge, on the banks of Lake Tanganyika. If this was any more fun it would be illegal.

• Half day kayak excursions: Hop on and take off for a morning or afternoon of adventure exploring the Lake.
• 1 - 7 Day kayak safaris: The perfect way to see the Lake’s breathtaking scenery. Our staff will go ahead of you each day to assemble your mobile fly camp on a secluded beach. Dinner is a relaxed affair with your table set up at the water’s edge, looking out at the moon’s reflection as it dances over the waves.

Our Kayaks are state of the art, suitable for novice and intermediate paddlers. Set the pace you want, but remember, the faster you go, the further you get, the more you can see!

Other

• Fishing: Spend a night with the local fisherman, fishing from an authentic, wooden boat in the traditional way with a hand line and kerosene lantern. Although we do not boast about our fishing prowess, we have a large array of fishing gear available to happy anglers, along with a boat for hire. Go get 'em!
• Sunset Sundowner Cruise: Every evening at sunset, we rip off the tethers, and send our locally made, hand-crafted, wooden dhow into the blue waters. It is a great way for people to get to meet one another, share in the festivities of each day and of course to enjoy one of our famous Lake Shore cocktails.
• Walking: Visit the 100 year old Benedictine Monastery half a kilometre from the Lodge, or stroll through the village of Kipili and learn more about the lives of the farmers and fishermen here.
