Description
Amazing campsite (4000MK) on the beach with parking for campers. Very quiet and peaceful. Few minutes walk to the port to catch the Ilala ferry. Food is very good. Can hire canoe or have boat trip to a mystical island. Friendly staff. If backpacking, drop off at Chilumba crossroad and either take a car or walk (about 30 minutes). Signs along the way. Worth the detour. Great stop before Levingstonia or Tanzania. Every Friday, traditional dancing at bar or village center. You can contact Alfred Mapunda at 0888301383 or 0997380101 or [email protected]

Very nice place next to the (overflowing) lake. ablutions are old and dirty. No warm water or toilet seats. Very helpful and friendly staff. We paid MWK 10.000 with electricity. Starlink has reach on the road. Not in the place under the trees.
Report Check-InWe don't use Camping. We booked one of the five rooms. The rooms are very basic but clean and we don't need more. The staff is more than friendly and very helpful. You can see the work of the fishermen. The food was very good! We had a problem with our car and Alfred - the owner helps us to find a mechanical. Together we found the little problem!
Report Check-InNice place on the lake with beach to swim. big room with very comfortable bed, mosquito net, fan, nice terrace, hot water, towels...
Safe and big parking.
First they asked 35.000 zk, but finally we paid 20.000 zk. we stayed 2 nights. bar and restaurant.
At walking distance to the ferry and shops.
Very nice place and owner Alfred is very friendly. I travel with bicycle. The owner tells me prices will be from 01/01/24 : double room 30000, campsite 8000. Nice beach with local people coming as well, bar and restaurant. Good place to chill
Report Check-InComfortable and clean room 20k right on the beach. Alfred's wife Elizabeth is a great cook and recommend trying her dishes. Great place to relax for a couple of days. Just ensure you clarify all costs for food in advance to avoid misunderstandings when it's bill payment time.
Report Check-InBeautiful on the beach location. Alfred and his team very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent and very reasonable. We camped but some very nice accommodation being completed.
Report Check-InMalawian owned and run. Great welcome from Alfred and his team Fantastic location-just stick with the Sat Nav it does get you there!
Purpose built concrete floor pergola with power points and tables for campers.
Fantastic fish supper-just be aware it takes a while as they have to light a fire to cook- but it’s worth it!
The rooms on the beach looked very nice with spectacular views
Paid MWK 8,000pp to camp in our rooftop tent
Large Bata and Chips with Salad MWK 10,000
Clean cold shower and loo
I came here on the eve on the ferry so needed a place to chill. Alfred let me have one of the rooms for 10,000 for the evening. Took a shower, chilled, ate food and then rode to the ferry before 2 am.
Report Check-InIt's a bit difficult to find because there is more than one track. The owner, Alfred, is very helpful and friendly. There is a lovely variety of shade trees on a pleasant beach, with rustic wooden tables.
But just across the bay is a bar. Expect music, perhaps all night.
Lovely camping spots right by the lake. There is also a large thatch boma with electricity points (both UK and South African), and chairs and tables provided. Bathroom facilities fairly basic with warm showers. K8000pppn.
Report Check-InGreat place with à beautiful view on the lake. It is nice to find campsite owned by locals. There is a nice bar with local beer at 700kw. Sanitary is very basic but clean. The price is still 4500KW/ppn. Alfred and his staff took good care of us !
Report Check-InGreat camping at the beach. We paid 3500kw ppn for a tent at the beach. Toilets are ok. Cold Shower. Nice and affordable restaurant. Walking distance from Ilala Ferry or 500kw from Chilumba intersection. Friendly staff. Local owner Alfred. Reccomended
