Malawi's Sports & Wellness
Although Malawi makes a perfect adventure destination, it also has a number of sport and leisure activities available in parts of the country. There are a few golf courses dotted around the country and although the ‘country clubs’ in Lilongwe, Blantyre and Mzuzu have sand greens, there are a couple of very picturesque (all grass!) 9-hole courses in the south of the country. The golf course at Chimwenya Game Park, just to the south-east of Blantyre, has wildlife wandering the fairways. Whilst, on the Mangochi Lakeshore, the course at The Makokola Retreat lies alongside Lake Malawi and has hosted tournaments for international golf professionals.
For those looking for more leisurely relaxation, there are a few Wellness activities available and an increasing number of lodges and hotels have spas. Most of the larger city centre hotels have gym & spa facilities and a few of the lakeshore lodges have spas whilst some organise yoga retreats, including at the Mangochi Lakeshore, Marelli Islands, Chintheche, the Lake Malawi National Park and inland at Ntchisi Forest Reserve.
Other sports, such as tennis, volleyball and football are available at some lodges, particularly those on the shores of Lake Malawi.
