Lake Malawi Tours, Vacations & Travel Packages

Lake Malawi, originally known as Lake Nyasa, is located on the eastern side of Malawi and was discovered by the missionary-explorer Dr. David Livingstone just over 150 years ago. It is bordered by Mozambique and Tanzania and one-third of the lake’s area belongs to Mozambique to be enjoyed on a Malawi vacation. It is the 9 th largest lake in the world, the third-largest in Africa and one of the deepest lakes anywhere. It is also home to more species of fish than any other lake. 

Lake Malawi is one of the main attractions in Malawi because of its beaches and islands. Resorts offer a wide range of activities such as snorkelling, diving, sailing, water skiing, camping and trips to the islands located along the lake. 

Lake Malawi National Park is a national park located at the southern end of Lake Malawi. It is the only national park in Malawi that was created to protect fish and aquatic habitats. Despite this, Lake Malawi National Park does include a fair amount of land including several small islands in Lake Malawi. It is home to animals such as baboons. The graves of five early missionaries are also found in the park. The many endemic fish species make it a key example of specialized evolution. For this reason, it was nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and should be included in a Malawi vacation.

• Do not support animal encounters and wildlife activities that are harmful or unethical.  

Safety tips  

• Always have a map (or app) on hand, especially when travelling at night.  
• Be safety conscious: don’t display cash or valuables. Leave jewellery and expensive watches at home.  
• Keep your belongings safe – use the hotel safe for passports and valuables and watch out for pickpockets and bag snatchers when out and about.  

What do I do in an emergency?  

• If passports or valuables are stolen, report the theft to the hotel/police immediately.  
• Contact the Thompsons Holidays 24-hour care line to assist.

A Quick Travel Guide To Visiting Lake Malawi

Updated June 2023, A Quick Travel Guide To Visiting Lake Malawi was originally published in January 2021

Lake Malawi was the most relaxing part of my two month trip across Southern Africa a few years back (not including my grand finale at an all-inclusive resort in Zanzibar). I will admit, a lot of it was spent lazing in on the beaches around and swimming in Lake Malawi.

Despite being quite lazy on the Malawi leg of my trip, I still managed to squeeze in time to visit a couple of lakeside villages and shopped for lovely handmade wood carvings. 

Malawi is hands down one of the best countries in Africa for backpackers with a surprisingly wide network of hostels and lakeside campsites. Though don’t come to Malawi with a plan to fast track the entire country- things move slowly in Malawi, you could even argue more slowly than any of its neighboring countries. Some may complain about the snail’s-pace of moving about in Malawi, but honestly (for me anyway) it’s one of Malawi’s great blessings. 

Going to or coming from Zambia? Don’t miss South Luangwa National Park or the Devil’s Pool

Destinations Around Lake Malawi

Northern malawi.

Kande 

Kande Bay is a bit further south than Nkhata Bay and is a bit quieter in comparison, making it the perfect place to relax and dig your toes into the golden sands on the shores of Lake Malawi.

I ended up spending 4 days in Kande when I visited Lake Malawi, just hanging out and enjoying the calm after almost 6 weeks of nonstop travel.

Where To Stay In Kande

• Kande Beach Lodge & Camp

Nkhata is a port and fishing town on the northern shores of Lake Malawi, just 50 kilometers east of Mzuzu, and a backpacker center of Malawi. 

If you’re planning to base yourself in one place on your visit to Lake Malawi and day trip out, Nkhata Bay isn’t a bad option. 

Where To Stay In Nkhata Bay

• Butterfly Space Lodge

Sat against a backdrop formed by the Livingstonia and Nyika mountains, and flanked by golden sand beaches lined with banana palms and papaya trees, Chitimba ended up being my favorite place I visited in Malawi. 

Chitimba is located at the far north of Lake Malawi, making it a good starting/ending point for those coming from or leaving to southern Tanzania or northern Zambia.

Don’t miss the opportunity to explore Manchewe Falls, and nearby Nyika National Park and Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve while you’re staying in Chitimba. The village that sits just beyond the beach is worth spending some time in for the opportunity to learn a bit more about the area and purchase intricate wood carvings. 

Where To Stay In Chitimba

• Chitimba Camp

Continuing on to Tanzania afterward? Check out why you should visit Mikumi National Park

Central Malawi

Nkhotakota is a port town on the shores of Central Malawi. Nkhotakota is a great place to base yourself for exploring other parts of Central Malawi. Don’t miss viewing elephants and other wildlife at Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve, lazing on Mwaya Beach, Mawira hot springs, and visiting nearby Chia Lagoon.

Where To Stay In Nkhotakota

• Sitima Inn  
• Yanu Yanu Lodge
• Pick n Pay Resort

Likoma & Chisumulu Islands

Likoma and Chisumulu are the only two inhabited islands in Lake Malawi, both of which are enclaves that sit within Mozambique’s waters. 

Likoma is the more often visited of the two, with access by both air and ferry. The Ilala ferry arrives from Chilumba and continues onto Monkey Bay and then makes the same trip in reverse a couple of times per week. 

Likoma Island is home to some of Malawi’s most luxurious lodges. 

Where To Stay On Likoma Island

• Chiponde Resort
• Mango Drift Lodge

Southern Malawi

Cape maclear.

Reachable by bus from other parts of Malawi or by taking the Ilala ferry from Chilumba or Likoma Island to Monkey Bay and grabbing a taxi, Cape Maclear sits on the southern shores of Lake Malawi. Life moves quite slow in Malawi’s south, making Cape Maclear a great place to kick back and relax, and a perfect base for exploring the remainder of southern Malawi. 

If you want to get off the beaten path in southern Malawi, you can head to Domwe Island located 5 kilometers off the coast from Cape Maclear (I 100% regret not heading out here!). There are fully equipped tents for rent on Domwe, or you can bring your gear and do it yourself. 

Where To Stay In Cape Maclear

• Fat Monkeys Lodge
• Mgoza Lodge
• Annie’s Lodge Cape Maclear
• Beachside Cottage

Grab a copy of Bradt’s Malawi guidebook to help you start planning

Monkey Bay is located just south of Cape Maclear, making it easy to stay in one place and visit the other. The Ilala Ferry that starts from Chilumba arrives at Monkey Bay connecting with other parts of Malawi. 

Similar to nearby Cape Maclear, Monkey Bay has a slow and laid back atmosphere. Plan to enjoy the beach or take a kayak trip to explore the coast and small offshore islands. 

Where To Stay In Monkey Bay

• Mufasa Eco Lodge
• Monkey Bay Beach Lodge
• Norman Carr Cottage

Liwonde National Park

Liwonde National Park is Malawi’s most popular park, conveniently located north of the city of Blantyre. You can arrange a riverboat safari, 4WD safaris, walking safaris, and even canoe safaris to explore this long and narrow national park that sits on the Shire River. 

Visiting Zimbabwe on your trip across southern Africa? Make sure to stop into Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Getting Around Lake Malawi

• By bus:  Buses connect many of the larger towns cities around Lake Malawi. The main bus company is AXA Coach Services.
• By ferry:  The Ilala Ferry runs between Chilumba and Monkey Bay, making the trip each direction once per week. Know that taking the ferry is quite slow. See an  updated Ilala Ferry schedule here .
• By car:  You can hire your own, or hire a driver and car for the duration of your trip. Of course, the price will vary greatly depending on time length, and distances for hiring a car and driver. Shop rental cars on  Expedia  and  Skyscanner .
• On overland tour:  Several overland tour companies offer trips in southern Africa that include a visit to Lake Malawi. Check out overlanders through Malawi on  Intrepid  and  GAdventures .

Malawi Vacation

There is a wealth of plant and animal life to be found in Malawi, with nine national parks and wildlife reserves. Small country, Malawi vacations are especially popular as a beach destination, offering excellent snorkeling opportunities for couples and youth. A pleasant day trip from South Luangwa, Malawi is an excellent complement to your Zambia safari itinerary.

Lake Malawi

Malawi does not have the vast population of large mammals as Tanzania, Zambia, and Mozambique. This area provides exclusive wildlife viewing in unspoilt areas of genuine wilderness, which makes up for its lack of tourism infrastructure. It has been described as the “Warm Heart of Africa”. The ‘Big 5,' which are the most popular animals in Africa, can now be found in Malawi's Parks and Reserves. Malawi Lake is a beach and scuba diving paradise, with Africa's third largest lake in Africa.

South Malawi is largely controlled by Blantyre with the Shire Valley and Mulanje Mountain providing a physical barrier. Home to many national parks, including Lake Malawi National Park and Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve, there is plenty of variety for tourists to experience. On the other hand, North Malawi is characterised by its great highlands in the remote areas.

Malawi Major Cities and Perfect Beach Escapes

The lake of Malawi is the perfect destination for a relaxing beach getaway. With its clear waters and sandy beaches, it's easy to see why this Lake is such a popular spot for vacationers. Situated on the picturesque Likoma island in Lake Malawi, Kaya Mawa is perfect for a safari getaway. If you're looking for a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere on your next holiday, Malawi is the perfect destination for the Africa Tourism Industry. You'll be welcomed warmly by the locals and enjoy all that this beautiful country has to offer.

 A visit to the community textiles workshop in the local markets is highly recommended while staying at Kaya Mawa. Equipment for snorkeling, walking & biking the island is included.​ Water sports include PADI-certified SCUBA lessons, sailing boats, sunset cruising, wakeboarding, water skiing, and quad bike excursions for experienced kiters.

 The beautiful Blue Zebra environmentally friendly lodge is located on Nankoma island, one of the three islands in the Marelli archipelago and a UNESCO World Heritage Site within the National Park. Solarisation, a new spa and a sunset lounge plunge pool, as well as new nature trails and continued reforestation are all recent additions.

BLUE ZEBRA ISLAND LODGE

An unspoiled Island paradise awaits you which is different from other countries. Nestled on Nankoma Island you will discover Blue Zebra Island Lodge . Chill out at the infinity pool at the hotel with stunning views, travel to Malawi and sip a Malawi shandy, unwind at the Island Spa set under an ancient fig tree.

​Explore by kayak the coves and coastal wildlife around Nankoma Island, go bird-watching, fish-spotting and search for elusive otters. A nature trail offers fantastic birdlife or you can discover the underwater world of the lake with snorkeling and seasonal scuba.​For the adrenaline junkies do try tubing, banana-boating, wake-boarding and water-skiing on your vacations!

• Enjoy the  watersport activities and relax at Malawi National Park which is the UNESCO World Heritage Site
• Take a trip to Liwonde National Park for a Jeep or boat safari on the Shire river
• Peruse the endangered and rare plants at the National Herbarium and Botanic Gardens of Malawi
• Study the impressive African Rifles Monument
• Anticipate activities like elephants seeing, birdwatching, mountain biking and cultural experiences

Things to do

• Wonder the day around the enchanting urban areas cities Lilongwe and Blantyre 
• Shop the best African outfit made where is the home of Chongoni Rock Art UNESCO World Heritage Site
• Enjoy the rural areas and night sight of the Lake of Malawi with the sound of fishermen
• Scuba-dive for the underwater scenery of Malawi
• Participate at the Africa’s best music festivals of Malawi which is very famous among tourists
• Hike Mount Mulanje with pretty difficult routes for bird-watching

Best Time to Visit

As for travel advice, the best time to visit Malawi is during the dry season between May and October. Summer months are more pleasant, with bright light, fresh evenings, and temperatures ranging from 18°C to 33°C. Temperatures start to climb in September and stay in the high twenties and early thirties until April, when it rains. The heaviest rains in the rainy season are generally in December, January, and February. Because of Malawi's diverse geography, local variations in weather are significant. The areas of the lake shore that are lower in elevation are warmer all year round. The temperature in the highlands is refreshingly cool during the day, but it can get quite cold at night, especially during winter.

US Dollars are widely accepted throughout the country. Visitors should try the public transport to enter Malawi. Daylight tours are more safe when entering Malawi by stopping to avoid walking alone or road travel at night. By listening to the advice of tour guides, you will get further information. Let's start your Malawi journey now!

Met and surpassed expectations

Met and surpassed expectations. Took care of details and was available for any questions.

Great experience - professional yet personal, would highly recommend

I came to Zambia for work and wanted to extend with a few extra days. With a bit short notice and for a holiday weekend Ntanda Ventures and Sonja helped me book a bush break in South Luangwa. Communication was easy and I really enjoyed the professional/knowledgeable but personal connection. My preferences were heard, all my questions answered and we worked together on finding a good fit. I was travelling alone and Sonja quickly understood what I was looking for and made suggestions based on local knowledge and experience, exactly what I needed! Due to unforeseen weather changes we had to make some changes to the plan and Sonja made sure to check with me what I would prefer and be okay with, and checked in with me along the way - everything was taken care of so I only had to enjoy the trip. It was a last minute plan, but she made it very easy and enjoyable for me - if I were to come back I would surely reach out and book through them again.

We had an incredible 3 nights at Blue Zebra. Our room and the views from it were great. All the staff are very helpful and friendly.

We have decided to add car  transfers  to our list of services on this website and I hope that this post helps to explain why it may be useful for some.

Make your journey happier with our discounted transfers

This has come about after various conversations with lodge owners and also visitors. A number of people have expressed the view that it has been quite difficult to find out in advance about getting from a to b within Malawi. Of course many people have contacts or organisations who assist them but others wish to make their own plans.

I was visiting Senga Bay last week and where I was staying there a visitor was telling me that he was flying out of the country the next day. Therefore he had arranged transport by car from Senga Bay to Lilongwe airport. His alternative would be to get a minibus from Senga Bay to Salima and then change there for another minibus to Lilongwe. Once in Lilongwe he would again have to change for the airport.

The next morning I got up early as the owner of the establishment had asked me to take a sunrise photo from the beach to help to promote his business. Malawi is a morning country so it is not at all strange to get up before the sun. This part of Senga Bay was a perfect place on the beach to watch the fishing boats return from their night on the lake. Now, the guy who was on his way out of the country was also awake and he told me that the arrangement he had been carefully negotiating had, at the last minute, fallen through.
