The commodities include a different range of accommodations, from the central dormitory to the most discreet cabins lost in the most beautiful natural spots.

Lake Niassa hosts over 90% of the world’s Cichilds (new species are identified almost every year). With its transparent waters, it offers an ideal spot to enjoy amazing snorkelling, fishing or even scuba diving.

The shorelines, teeming with wildlife, are one of the most remote and unexploited locations of eastern Africa. Along the 200 km shoreline there are only two road access points, and N’Tendele is proud to be the only quality establishment on the southern road access.
