WEEKEND AWAY<br />
Matema Lake Shore Resort<br />
If you love chocolate, Matema in southwest<br />
Tanzania is the place to visit. Surrounded by<br />
cocoa plantations, it is located in the Mbeya<br />
region in a striking area right by Lake Nyasa<br />
(Lake Malawi). The road leading to the<br />
resort reminded me of Hawaii because of<br />
its lush green mountains, and the property<br />
is set right on the edge of the lake making<br />
for the utmost tranquility. Boating and other<br />
activities out on the water are also available.<br />
Firefly Bagamoyo<br />
While Bagamoyo is a well known destination for<br />
travellers, one of its most visited places would have<br />
to be Firefly. This spot, a camp and lodge set in a<br />
beautifully restored historic building, is both unique<br />
and serene. If a fun weekend filled with food,<br />
drinks, the occasional live music events, swimming<br />
and lounging in the sun sounds like an appealing<br />
getaway for you then this is the place to be. There<br />
are rooms and tents for those keen on a camping<br />
experience, while the staff will impress upon you<br />
their passion for the environment. Bagamoyo is an<br />
hour away from Dar es Salaam and is therefore an<br />
ideal location to drive out to for a relaxing weekend<br />
away from the city and be back at your desk on<br />
Monday morning.<br />
Kilimanjaro Golf and Wildlife Estate<br />
The avid golfers will be more than pleased. The golf<br />
course here, which faces Mt Meru and Kilimanjaro, is the<br />
first 18-hole championship golf course in Tanzania and is<br />
up to par with the most demanding international guidelines.<br />
It was designed by former Irish National Coach and Kenya<br />
Open Champion David Jones. Surrounded by astonishing<br />
natural beauty and spectacular views, it is a one of its kind<br />
experience with dramatic backdrops, challenging holes,<br />
fairways meandering through ponds and streams and all<br />
the comfort and service imaginable on offer. Step outside<br />
of your villa, meet up with your personal caddy and tee off<br />
to start an unforgettable experience<br />
