Malawi - Places To Stay

Mozambican shore, Lake Malawi - Nkwichi Lodge is a genuine unspoilt wilderness. The beach on the shores of Lake Malawi with its fine, white sand is the central feature around which the lodge has been built. The main lodge building has a dining room raised high on a platform providing views out over the lake. The chalets are cleverly tucked into the trees along the lakeshore providing unique views across the crystal clear water. The chalets all vary in size and design depending on their setting but are all made of local wood, stone and grass thatch.

Located on the Mozambican shore of Lake Malawi, a short boat trip from Likoma Island.

Take a 1 hour flight from Lilongwe to Likoma Island, followed by a 40 minute speed boat transfer to Nkwichi Lodge (excludes time for immigration formalities)

Projects include protecting 100 000ha of savannah, streams, swamps, mountains and lakeshore. The Manda Wilderness Community Trust built 5 schools, 1 maternity clinic, 1 maize mill and 2 church roofs.

The lodge is run entirely on solar power and is determined to keep its carbon footprint as small as possible.
