Fish Eagle Point

Top choice in Northeastern Tanzania


This lovely lodge has spacious, open-style beachfront cottages in varying sizes, all set around a mangrove-fringed cove. There's a dhow, snorkelling, sea kayaking, fishing and birding. It’s ideal for families. Follow the tarmac Horohoro road north from Tanga for 38km to the signposted right-hand turn-off, from where it’s 10km further along a dirt track.
