The Tides Lodge
Located on a beautiful stretch of beach about 16km south of Pangani this is a small relaxed lodge offering game fishing in the Pemba Channel.
THE ACCOMMODATION
Just 7 spacious and individually styled beachfront cottages tastefully decorated with local furnishings.
THE FACILITIES
The Tides offers some of the finest seafood cuisine on the coast of Tanzania served in the beachfront restaurant and bar. The deserted white sand beach stretches into the distance and the clean water is good for swimming.
THE ACTIVITIES
As would be expected with this setting largely based around watersports although cultural trips to Pangani village or Saadani National Park can be organised.
FISHING
The lodge operates an 18ft fishing boat, ‘Breakaway’, capable of carrying four people. It is equipped with GPS and a fish finding device, and can put out four lines. The skipper is experienced in these waters and can speak English, German and Kiswahili. The fishing can be very good and typical catches include Giant Trevally, Wahoo, Kingfish, Dorado, Barracuda, Yellow Fin Tuna, Sailfish and Marlin, depending on the season.
SNORKELLING
Snorkelling trips are organised to Maziwe Island Marine Park, which is a sand bank offshore surrounded by coral and marine life. Trips can only take place at low tide. Guests have the opportunity to snorkel in shallow water therefore it is suitable for those less experienced at snorkelling. All equipment is provided and dolphins can often be seen from the boat.
THE VERDICT
A really lovely beach lodge on a picture postcard beach. Personal service and superb cuisine combined with the stunning location make this a good alternative to the islands for anyone seeking a quiet beach extension to a Tanzanian safari.

Davis was a wonderful guide! He was a good driver, especially in the cities outside the park...
