ten degrees south is a Swahili-style  rustic retreat situated on the shores of the Indian Ocean in southern Tanzania.

 

The lodge provides comfortable and clean accommodation for ECO2, a neighbouring Scuba Dive operation set up in 2000 by Dr Martin Guard. 

There is also a beautiful shaded bar and seafood restaurant to enjoy.

 

The newly established Mnazi Bay marine park is reputed to be one of the best dive sites in Africa.  The lodge itself is situated in the sleepy town of Mikindani in the Mtwara region, an undiscovered outpost, reminiscent of Zanzibar stone-town.

 



Ten degrees was started by 5 people from England who had travelled to Tanzania inspired by the story of Latham Leslie Moore, The Sultan of Msimbati
.Ten degrees south was the first lodge in Mikindani, and opened its doors in
1997. 

Since then hundreds of guests have visited, to swim in the wonderful nearby beaches of the Indian Ocean, to go diving in the stunning Mnazi Bay Marine Park, or to just enjoy sundowners overlooking the natural harbour of Mikindani bay.

The lodge is famed for it’s ‘Robinson Crusoe’ style expeditions to the stunning Ruvula Beach where it’s possible to spot whales at certain times of the year and camp out on the beach under the stars in complete safety.  Our staff will also provide food and cook delicious barbeques and make sure you are looked after.
