Overview

The jewel in the crown of the country’s tourist attractions is Lake Malawi, discovered by a Portuguese trader and then made famous by the missionary-explorer Dr David Livingstone just over 150 years ago, as the Lake of the Stars, or the Lake of Storms.

After this 3-day Malawi Lake getaway, you will understand the hype!

Upon your arrival at Lilongwe, you will be collected and swept off to Kumbali Lake Retreat, an idyllic, eco-friendly lodge on the shores of the lake. Your time relaxing on the beach is balanced by a visit to a local village where you will learn all about village life in Malawi.
