Pumulani is a stylish lakeside lodge with nature-inspired rooms – think grass roofs and huge windows to let in the light, views of the surrounding forest and lake, and massive wooden terraces from which to gaze at the clear waters and sweep of golden sand below. The food, served in the open bar-restaurant, is equally amazing.
Yes, it’s expensive, but a number of activities are included in the price, including snorkelling, fishing and trips on the romantic old traditional wooden dhow.
