Lake Malawi is the jewel in Malawi’s crown. Created by the natural faulting of the rift valley, the freshwater lake stretches 365 miles from north to south. This vast body of freshwater fringed by beaches of golden sand is not only a scenic wonderland but it provides water sport opportunities for those looking for something beyond sun, sand and swimming. Kayaking, sailing, snorkelling, scuba diving and water skiing are just some of the lake activities available to visitors.

Journeys on the lake range from the motor vessel to sailing dinghy. Monkey Bay is a functional port but is surrounded by shoreline with beautiful golden sandy beaches and good quality lodges. Across the lake, into Mozambique waters, is Likoma Island. Not only does it have some beautiful beaches, and accommodation, but also a missionary-built cathedral the size of Winchester’s.
