On the northeast coast of Tanzania, the Kijongo Bay Beach Resort sits on an unspoilt stretch of beach near Saadani National Park. Its two-storey beach villas have king-size beds on the ground floor and smaller double beds upstairs. The en-suite bathrooms are downstairs, and the upper floors have private verandas with daybeds looking out over the ocean. Families can stay in the Boma house, which has two en-suite bedrooms and a small lounge area. Each day the restaurant chalks up a set menu of fresh dishes (kids’ menu included) on a blackboard, so you can let the staff know about any dietary wishes. You can cool off in the swimming pool or in the ocean a few steps away. Kayaking, snorkelling, turtle watching and river cruises are all on offer, though ‘doing nothing’ is a popular choice too. Lean back, unwind and enjoy life’s simple pleasures!
