LUPITA ISLAND

a hidden gem in the heart of Africa

upita, a 110 acre private island situated in Lake Tanganyika
boasts 10 rustically luxurious cottages. All are totally
Lsecluded and open sided, each with its own personal plunge
pool and magnificent views of the lake. The main relaxing areas
and pool are encompassed by thick indigenous forest and unique
fauna and flora. From the private beach and deck overlooking
the lake, otters can often be seen swimming between the rocks
looking for their much-loved fresh water mussels.
Rare cichlids (tiny fish) can be found whilst snorkeling
and swimming around the boulders in the pristine waters
surrounding the island and in the protected bay between
Lupita and the neighboring island of Ulwile. Untouched by
tourism, the southern part of Lake Tanganyika and especially
Lupita Island, is one of the most undiscovered parts of Africa,
though the early explorers including Livingstone and Stanley
visited there! It is the perfect final stop in a Tanzanian safari,
or a stand-alone destination for those who want total relaxation
and anonymity for a week or two. Fascinating tribal cultures
can also be experienced if requested.
