Kasaba Bay Lodge
Lake
Tanganyika
Found
within the boundaries of the Sumbu National Park on the
shores of lake Tanganyika, Kasaba Bay Lodge has an
unrivalled locality with sheltered bays and huge
sandunes.
Great
adventure awaits those who want to explore Africa's
central and ancient darkest region.
Some
of Africa's rarest bird life can be found in widely
differing ecosystems, ranging from savannah plains and
rain forest fragments to extensive wetlands.
A
dazzling array of lesser known bird species including
Pel's Fishing Owl, Palmnut Vulture, Yellow-bellied
Hyloita and Angola Pitta, have been recorded in the
national park.
Set in the
ancient Rift Valley, Lake Tanganyika is the longest and
deepest lake in the world being 677 kilometers long and
97 kilometers at its widest point.
Reaching 1435 meters in depth, the lake contains one
sixth of the world's fresh water.
The eighty
kilometers of shoreline, as well as the protected waters
of Sambu National Park, are renowned for both excellent
game and fly-fishing.
The lake
is home to six hundred species of fish. The thought of
catching the magnificent Golden Perch
(unique to the lake), or recently reclassified
Tanganyika Perch (Lates augustifrons), or two species of
Tiger Fish and the Nkupi, are what experienced anglers
dream of.
Kasaba
Bay's luxury cottages with en-suite bathrooms and
private verandas offer majestic views across the world's
longest lake surrounded by African wilderness
Relax with well-chilled sundowners whilst game
watching from the pool deck or the central complex
veranda. Enjoy cuisine of the highest standard and
in the evening, swop stories of your day's adventure
with other guests around the magnificent hand-carved
teak bar.
Whether in
custom-built game viewing landrovers, on foot or by
boat, we offer tailormade excursions throughout the 2020
square kilometers of Sumbu
National Park accompanied by experience, armed parks
rangers.
Game
experiences can provide enthusiasts with sightings from
Sitatungu and Roan antelope to lion and elephant as well
as some of the largest crocodiles
you are likely to see.
An
opportunity not to be missed whilst based at Kasaba Bay
is to range up to Gombe Stream, home of Jane Goodall's
chimpanzees.
