  Very calm and chilled place. The takawiri island resort has white sandy beaches making it exceptional. Good place for spending the day

  This is one place you will dream to take your family every time you got a chance. The waters are very clear as drinking water. The serenity of a place far away from the noises of a busy town, watch the sunrise and the sunset come and dive into the water respectively.

  Takawiri Island Resort is such a beautiful place to go and unwind or spend quality time with your family. To get to this place, you have to drive to Mbita town then board a water bus to Takawiri Island, then a speed boat to the Resort. It's advisable to make prior calls to the resort to get proper guidance and make the necessary booking arrangements. Note that, the resort occupies just a small area of the Island and not the entire island. Other key points to note. : 1. They accept day visits, camping and residents depending on availability of the rooms, tent or the number of guests present at the time of visit. 2. The only source of power in is Solar panels since it's an island. 3. The network is not that good and in several places not there at all. You may need to move to specific places to make calls. 4. The lake is safe to swim. 5. The food prepared there is really good. No compromise about it. 6. The owner is soo welcoming and friendly, you will enjoy your vacation. 8. There are less mosquitoes outside so you can enjoy the breeze and the bonfires in peace. 9. Music is discouraged there unless on prior notification to the management. 10. It may not look exactly as it appears on the pics but trust you me, you won't regret your stay there at all. I hope this will help someone out there. Best wishes.

  It's a nice place to go and unwind. No electricity but there is solar. There are mosquitoes in the rooms I suppose it's because the lake is outside. Go with an empty stomach ready to eat. The experience is one to remember. They have bonfires at night. Swimming is done on the lake so you can be sure of the fun. Go with your family to make memories together.
