Lake Malawi National Park, the first freshwater marine reserve proclaimed on Earth and declared a Natural World Heritage Site in 1984. Lake Malawi is unique and forms a separate bio-geographical province. It is estimated to be between one and two million years old. The lake, ninth largest in the world, is 600km long and 80km wide, and forms the southern extremity of the African Rift Valley. The Island lies within an exclusive concession area, in turn part of the Lake Malawi National Park, the first freshwater marine reserve in the world. With waters that are so crystal clear, the diving and snorkelling are among the best in Lake Malawi. There is a dining area, bar and water sport gazebo, all of timber, thatch and canvas, and adhering to the principles of eco-architecture. MUMBO ISLAND ROOM & SUITE TYPES: Accommodation consists of 7 tents in total: - 5 twin bedded tents - 1 family unit with 2 twin bedded tents. The camp can accommodate 14 guests. Tents are raised on timber decks or on the high rocks that are typical around this island. The family unit sits closer to the ground making it very child-friendly. All are under thatched roofs. All tents have en suite toilets and showers. Toilets are environmentally-friendly dry composter toilets, showers are the bucket variety with fire-warmed water. Each tent has mosquito netting over all openings. Viewing deck overlooks the lake and a hammock. FOOD & WINE: Meal times are flexible with respect to activities and arrival and departure times. A hearty breakfast of fruit salad, home-made muesli, freshly baked bread, eggs and bacon sets the tone for the day. Lunches and dinners feature an array of salads, fresh fish, chicken and vegetable casseroles, curries, stir-fries and pasta dishes. FACILITIES/ACTIVITIES: Guests can relax in tranquil surroundings with delicious cuisine, lying in hammocks or gently floating in the waters; but for the more energetic there is a variety of activities: excellent sea kayaking, snorkelling and scuba facilities enable the active guest to interact with an impressive piece of nature: exploring the granitic islands in a freshwater Rift Valley lake; birders will enjoy the abundant Fish Eagles |
