Kayak Africa

The Lake Malawi National Park is a World Heritage Site and an area of overwhelming beauty. It is also the first freshwater marine reserve on earth, sporting thousands of cichlid fish that are vital to the bio-diversity of our planet.

Kayak Africa's camps on Mumbo Island and Domwe Island are comfortable yet rustic.
They are located within exclusive concession areas, guaranteeing privacy in paradise.
The Camp in a spectacular location is constructed entirely of timber, thatch and canvas and adheres to the strictest principles of eco-architecture.
Accommodation is in large safari tents situated on thatched, wooden decks overlooking the lake. Each tent is fully furnished with its own shady view-deck and private hammock.
Freedom - together with a good dose of healthy outdoor fun - is what Kayak Africa itineraries are all about. Multiple nights are spent at each Island Camp, giving guests the opportunity to explore at their leisure.

Once you are ensconced in a comfortable campsite, the choice of activities is up to you.
Beside sea kayaking, there's also snorkelling, SCUBA diving, nature trails, bird watching, spear fishing and fishing. Shady hammocks or the beach are perfect retreats for those wanting to curl up with a good book.
All itineraries are suitable for anyone who is in good health. Motorised boats are used as safety back up and to supply the camps. These boats are also available for anyone unwilling or unable to kayak.
The protected waters and nearby islands of Lake Malawi bring sea kayaking within reach of anyone irrespective of fitness or experience. The two-person kayaks are large and stable. Kayak Africa's guides are ex-fishermen, adding local knowledge and experience to the safety mix.

Lake Malawi is a great place to SCUBA dive, ideally suited to beginners or those who prefer relaxed diving with no dangers.
Kayak Africa is a PADI registered resort, offering beginner, advanced and specialty courses, as well as gear hire and casual dives.

A bush kitchen with an open fire and expert island chef is the source of three wholesome meals a day. A hearty breakfast of fruit salad, freshly baked bread, eggs and bacon will set you up for the day.
Lunches and dinners feature an array of salads, fresh fish, chicken and vegetable casseroles, curries, stir-fries and pasta dishes. Due to intimate group size our meals always have that special home-cooked flavour.
Malawi grown tea and coffee are freely available. Beer, soft drinks, Malawi G&T's and whiskey are for sale via a help-yourself, honesty system.

Ecotourisum in the Lake Malawi National Park is made possible through a successful partnership between Kayak Africa and the local community represented by the Chembe Trust. Together they are striving to conserve this special place!
