Mumbo Island is one of the great places in Africa. Imagine a tropical
island surrounded by warm, clear water and freshwater, tropical fish. The island is but a jumble of granite crowned by dry woodland including baobabs, pod mahogany and rock figs, and barely a kilometre in diameter.
I preceded a week’s work in Lilongwe with a weekend on Mumbo, a place I have always wanted to visit since meeting Kayak Africa’s owners some twelve years ago. Kayak Africa runs island getaways and kayaking and diving activities on Mumbo and Domwe Islands in the Lake Malawi National Park.

Lake Malawi is certainly a too-oft passed over gem! I was there years ago, me and maybe half a dozen backpackers, SA, Aussie, and W. European. Not a lot of $ for locals, but what an amazing experience. How wonderful that you got a nice weekend all to your own.
Did you get to do some kayaking?
