The camp’s five units are perched on giant rocks high above the crystal-clear waters and under the shade of the lush trees. There are two twin tents and three twin-bedded reed chalets. The beds can be pushed together to form a double. There is also one family tent with four twin beds. The en suite bathrooms include a traditional hot-bucket showers and eco-loos. However, the best feature of every unit is the wooden porch with its tropical views and inviting hammock.
The camp is ideally located on Mumbo Island, an unspoiled and deserted tropical island within Lake Malawi National Park. The island is only a little over a half mile in diameter yet is heavily wooded, with baobab trees, fichus, and many other tropical varieties of tree. But it’s the lake that everyone really comes to see with its labyrinth of underwater boulders, calm and clear waters, and plethora of colorful cichlid fish as well as over 2,000 species of freshwater fish. Lake Malawi is the world’s first freshwater national park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The clear, warm waters, plentiful fish, and underwater granite boulders make the ideal spot for snorkeling with equipment provided by the camp. For the more adventurous, the resort is PADI registered and offers beginner, advanced, and specialty scuba diving courses as well as gear for rent and casual dives. Guided kayaking trips are another way to explore the lake. While the best way to explore the small island is by hiking on one of the five nature trails. Otherwise, guests can relax in their hammock, read on a shady lounge chair, or try their hand at a game of bawo.
An eco-friendly resort, the camp relies on solar energy and is hand built from timber, thatch, and canvas. The main area houses a dining room and bar. Babysitting and laundry services are available upon request.
