Welcome
Speke Bay Lodge is located on the south-eastern shore of Lake Victoria in Tanzania, East Africa. It is 15 kilometres from the Serengeti National Park, and 125 kilometres north of Mwanza. Speke Bay is part of Speke Gulf, named after the famous explorer John Hanning Speke, who, in 1858, discovered Lake Victoria to be the source of the Nile. Embraced by savannah, the Lodge looks like a small village, stretched out along the shores of the lake. The main buildings and luxury accommodation are round in form, built to perfection, painted white and thatched with a grass roof in the traditional style of the local tribe, the Sukuma. Since the Lodge is outside but close to the Serengeti National Park, it is the ideal place to start or end your safari, or relax during your travels. Excursions in boats and on mountain bikes are offered, so you can truly experience Africa; you can fish from the beach for Tilapia, enjoy the peacefulness, or wander around on the Lodge’s 100 hectares of savannah, looking for birds.

Zawadi, or “gift” in Swahili, is a family-run safari camp with a mission to ‘gift’ our guests with a truly life enhancing experience of the Serengeti landscape and inhabitants.

The camp is centrally positioned in the Kemarishe Hills, 20km north of Seronera, Zawadi Camp is just a few minutes by 4×4 from the famed animal migration paths of the area, and only two kilometers away from the Orangi River.

Our mission is to provide our guests with ultimate relaxation, peace of mind, and an authentic wildlife experience in the Serengeti. Mindful of the area’s fragile ecosystem and focused on cultural preservation and environmental respect, Zawadi Camp is designed to leave no trace behind once removed.

We take our environmental and social responsibility seriously. As a result, we use the latest renewable energy technology, employ and train local people and donate part of our camp’s profits towards a local shelter project for homeless and orphaned children.

Our multilingual Spanish and Tanzanian management team, and our combined warmth, hospitality and culture is proudly complemented by extensive local knowledge and respect for the local environment, its wildlife and its inhabitants such as the Maasai.

As well as the perfect accommodation, through our partners we can offer different package experiences including transfer and game drives.
