TRAVELLERS LODGE BAGAMOYO
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.
