Mumbo Island Camp

Top choice in Malawi


Situated exclusively on Mumbo Island, this eco-boutique camp has chalets and a walk-in tent on wooden platforms (with en-suite bucket showers and eco-loos), tucked beneath trees and above rocks, with spacious decks and astounding views. Accommodation rates include boat transfers, full board, kayaking, snorkelling and guided hikes.

Many people kayak the 10km to the island, from the Kayak Africa reception in Cape Maclear; the camp staff will bring along your bags by boat. Of course, you can catch that boat if you're feeling lazy…

It would be perfectly acceptable to just laze around on the camp's hammocks and decks indulging in that castaway feeling, but scuba diving is possible here and spotted-necked otters are regularly glimpsed around the island. A maximum of 14 people can stay here.
