Fish Eagle Point — Hotel in Tanga Region

After three months of intense field work (in tourism at Kilimanjaro – believe me, I have seen behind the walls of many (touristy) places) I was looking for a place on the Tanzanian coast to nurture and recharge body, mind, and soul. I have never been attracted by Zanzibar because it seems to be overcrowded and touristy and I also did neither want to fly nor take the boat to the island. Thanks to recommendations by friends, I ended up at Fish Eagle Point. Fortunately. This beautiful place and its lovely people fully recharged me with warm hospitality, delicious and fresh food, and great nature-based activities: snorkeling through a lively coral reef, canoeing through the peaceful mangrove forest and the soundscape of the many birds, running on the beach during sun rise and sun set, doing yoga on the veranda over the ocean, meditating while the moon was rising over the bay, listening to the sound of the waves, and going for (barefoot) walks on the seafloor, to name just a few. I am amazed by how Cathy and Steven keep Fish Eagle Point in its remote location with no direct access to freshwater running and thus, make it habitable, while living with and caring for (local) people and the environment. All staff was extremely attentive, flexible, and supportive throughout my stay. I asked for vegan food and the chefs mastered my request excellently. I am very grateful for my six day stay at Fish Eagle Point as it truly allowed me to reconnect with nature, myself and all my senses … indeed because it is off the beaten track plus access to the online world and power grid is limited. No way I would neither recommend this place to other nature lovers nor would I return again next year....

We stayed on Night at Fish Eagle Point. We paid $10 pppn to camp there with our overlander and rooftop tent.

While the overall lodge and complex is beautiful, do know that this is a huge place. As a camper in overlander, you are far away from the restaurant, bar or pool that this place has. You're not allowed to have a fire near your car, only on the beach and you're not allowed to park on the beach due to the tide.

So even though the place was beautiful, I have mixed feelings about it. It was full of unfriendly construction workers when we were there, the manager was nice but took us through the 30min grand tour of the place when we were just trying to check in and park. Camping bathroom is OK but in middle of trees so you will find giant spiders and other things living there.

If you're here to stay a few days and stay in one of the rooms, it's worth it. For overland camping, especially just for one...
