An exlusive camp situated on a pristine and otherwise deserted tropical island floating on the clear waters of Lake Malawi.
Location:
Located off the Cape Maclear Peninsula on Lake Malawi.
Accommodation and facilities:
Accommodating fourteen guests, the camp is perched on rocks high above the water and blends in perfectly to create a place of rustic charm and minimal impact. Tucked into the lush foliage, each tent is fully furnished with its own shaded view-deck and hammock and equipped with hot bucket showers and ’eco-loos’.There is a dining area, bar and water sport gazebo, all of timber, thatch and canvas, and all adhering to the principles of eco-architecture.
Activities:
The most popular activities here are snorkelling through the crystal-clear water and lazing in a hammock or in the ’chill-out’ area, contemplating the stunning scenery. Other activities include diving, swimming, kayaking, and birdwatching. Guests also have the option of boating or paddling and exploring the granitic islands in a freshwater Rift Valley lake.
Special attractions:
Unlike most island destinations in the region, Mumbo Island has never been populated by humans and is still in its natural state. This, together with the focus on non-motorised water sports, makes Mumbo Island ideal for the active outdoors enthusiast.
