Mumbo Island Camp
Mumbo Island is an exclusive camp situated on a pristine and otherwise-deserted tropical island floating on the clear waters of Lake Malawi. The camp comprises safari tents and one much larger set-up for families (separate en-suite bedrooms with a large living area imbetween them, just set back from the beach rather than up in the boulders), each fully furnished with its own shaded view-deck and hammock, and blending seamlessly into the lush foliage. There is a dining area, bar and water sport gazebo, all made from timber, thatch and canvas, and adhering to the principles of eco-architecture.
It would be a great option for a family or group travelling together to take over the camp exclusively as you would have the whole island to yourselves.
Mumbo 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 is among the best in Lake Malawi.
Guests of Mumbo Island can relax in tranquil surroundings with delicious cuisine, lying in hammocks or gently floating in the waters. For the more energetic there is a variety of activities: excellent kayaking, snorkelling and scuba facilities enable the active guest to interact with an impressive piece of nature. Explore the granitic islands in a freshwater Rift Valley lake, birders can view the abundant Fish Eagles and snorkellers can view enormous numbers of the Cichlid fish species. These small, colourful fish have adapted to so many variations that they are considered of comparable importance to the Galapagos finches in the study of evolution.
