The beaches of Lake Malawi

Today you will fly via Lilongwe to Likoma Island, in the crystal-clear waters of Lake Malawi for a 4 night stay. This huge freshwater lake allows you to experience beautiful, sandy lakeside beaches and a wide range of watersports activities without the need for lots of travel. The boutique resort of Kaya Mawa is on a pristine, white sand beach which feels more like Zanzibar than central Africa. With so much to do, you may want even longer to just relax and enjoy the lakeside lifestyle – ask the African Pride team about extending your stay or exploring more of warm and welcoming Malawi.
