Speke Bay is part of Speke Gulf, named after the famous
explorer John Hanning Speke, who, in 1858, discovered
Lake Victoria to be the source of the Nile.

Embraced by savannah, the Lodge looks like a small village, stretched out along the shores of the lake. The main buildings and luxury accommodation are round in form, built to perfection, painted white and thatched with a grass roof in the traditional style of the local tribe, the Sukuma.
