Enjoy

At Ras Mbisi Lodge, you can do as much - or as little - as you wish.

We offer sunset cruises to help you unwind, and excursions so that you can experience all that a Mafia Island holiday has to offer. Visits to Chole Island, Chungaruma lakes and the Mlola Forest are well worth the visit, as are outings to Kilindoni, Ras Kisimani or the Marine Park in the Chole Bay area.

For the more adventurous, we can organise fishing trips, and trips to nearby islands and reefs where you can snorkel from our locally built dhow. There are also sea kayaks and dug-out canoes available free of charge or sailing in n’galawas with local boatmen. We also offer scuba diving courses and trips, through dive centres in Chole Bay so that you can experience the Indian Ocean from a different perspective.
