Lake Malawi National Park
An exclusive camp on a pristine and otherwise-deserted island offers barefoot luxury and tranquillity. Excellent sea kayaking, snorkelling and SCUBA facilities enable the active guest to interact with an impressive piece of nature: granitic islands in a fresh-water Rift Valley lake; Fish Eagles abundant as naturally possible; and a Cichlid fish population of comparable importance to the Galapagos finches in the study of evolution.

 Mumbo Island is located within an exclusive concession area, guaranteeing privacy in tropical island paradise. The camp is constructed entirely of timber, thatch and canvas, and adheres to the strictest principles of eco-architecture. Five large safari tents are fully furnished, each with its own shady view-deck and private hammock. Other infrastructure is limited to a dining area, bar and watersport gazebo.

Unlike most other island destinations in the region, Mumbo Island has never been populated and is still in its natural state. This, together with the focus on non-motorised watersports, makes Mumbo Island ideal for the active outdoors enthusiast. At the same time the remoteness and tranquillity means that there is no shortage of relaxation opportunities. All itineraries are suitable for anyone who is in good health, and all activities are optional.
