Manda Nkwichi Lodge
Set in a private area of the 100,000 hectare Manda Wilderness Reserve, with four kilometres of beaches and rocky shoreline, rivers, forest and bush, this Lodge has been innovatively designed and built using a mix of traditional local methods and western styles, specifically to blend with the natural environment. Nkwichi has 7 thatched cottages built in stone and wood each with a veranda complete with hammock to look out over the lake. The cottages also have four-poster beds in the rooms which are made from enormous tree trunks and the luxurious bathrooms have baths built into the rocks and open-air showers. As well as a full range of watersports, guests can take wilderness walks and canoe trips into the Game Reserve.
Kaya Mawa Lodge
Kaya Mawa Lodge is situated on the south-western tip of Likoma Island at the head of a crescent-shaped bay, surrounded by mango trees and ancient baobabs. The lodge uses the natural surroundings of beach, rock, island and lake to create a lodge of unique character, imagination and very special ambience. With no machinery available on the island, Kaya Mawa Lodge was built entirely by hand, in partnership with the local community. It consists of ten stone and teak-framed thatched cottages set into a granite headland. Each cottage faces the lake and has a 7- by 6-foot mahogany four-poster bed, a shower, a sunken stone bathtub and a loo with a view. All the cottages have private terraces with direct access to the water, and some can only be reached by walkways built over the lake.
