The rooms at Kaya Mawa are divided into several categories, each faces the lake and contains a large handcrafted bed and individually designed. All of the rooms have private terraces, the majority with direct access to the water:
Khuyu, Mbungu and Mswkwa – which are found at the bottom of a rocky knoll, with private decks and direct access to the lake.
Ngani, Nkwhazi, Mbamba and Makengulu – which are the premium one bedroom options and are more secluded, either perched higher up with beautiful views and a private pool, or on a private island reached by a bridge, or hidden secretly around the side of the bay.
Madimba House – an ideal option for honeymooners, with sitting rooms, views across the lake, a private infinity pool and found right at the far end of the beach so with complete privacy.
Ulissa and Yofu Houses – both family houses towards the back of the main beach, each with a double and a twin or triple room with and interconnecting bathroom and outdoor chill areas.
Mainja House – a private two-bedroom house with a sitting room and rock plunge pool.
Ndomo Point House – a completely private four-bedroom house, fully self-contained, 1km down the beach, with a pool and private beach and full use of the Kaya Mawa facilities.

Whilst you might assume that there would be very little to do in such a remote destination you would in fact be wrong when it comes to Kaya Mawa. There are a wide range of activities, many of which are included in the cost of your stay, and plenty to explore in the area. The lodge has a fantastic restaurant, although many meals will be served in other fun areas such as the beach, or on the gazebo. The bar is just metres from the water and is the perfect spot to enjoy evening cocktails as you watch the sunset views right down to the south of the lake.

There are numerous activities included in your stay at Kaya Mawa such as mountain biking, snorkelling, kayaking, windsurfing and sailing. At an additional cost there is also wakeboarding, water-skiing, knee-boarding, quad biking and kitesurfing and a PADI Dive Centre on site enabling you to experience some of the best fresh water diving in the world.
