Malaika Beach Resort

Life isn’t always like this but working here at Isamilo has given us access to some fabulous places such as Malaika Beach Resort on the shores of Lake Victoria. We have spent a glorious afternoon here enjoying the infinity pool. We met some colleagues here (great minds think alike). If you are in the region this is a definite place to come and at 69000 TSh (approx £25) for 4 a good bargain. Not something for every week but an occasional treat.
