Nkwichi Lodge

The Manda Wilderness Area is located on the Mozambican shores of Lake Malawi set in a private area with four kilometres of beaches and rocky shoreline, rivers, forest and bush.

Nkwichi Lodge was built by the lodge staff and has been innovatively designed and built using a mix of traditional local methods and western styles, specifically to blend with the natural environment. The lodge consists of five chalets, one family chalet and two houses. The chalets are all unique and have been designed to blend in with the surroundings. All have private bathrooms, with baths set in the rocks and showers hanging from trees. All chalets have been set back from the lakeshore making them invisible from the lake. They are also far enough apart to give a sense of total privacy but not that of isolation.

Nkwichi Lodge offers a wide range of activities, such as canoeing on the lake or local rivers, guided bush walks and trekking looking for birds and wildlife, snorkelling, kite flying and visits to local community projects. Wildlife in the form of birds and smaller game is plentiful. Pristine bush surrounds a perfect white sandy beach where wild dog have occasionally been sighted. You have the option at mealtimes to be wined and dined under the African stars on the beach, beside your chalet or in many of the other romantic settings around the lodge.
