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, one of which is the very rare Goliath
or the largest member of the Cichlid family, 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.

History
is alive in the area. The quote
"AN
AREA OF UNSURPASSED LOVLINESS"
is attributed to David Livingstone
when he extensively explored the region in 1867,
crusading against slavery. |
| 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.
