Njaya Lodge is the perfect destination for a two week beach holiday, or as a refreshing stop off on your way to the islands or after a game viewing trip to the Nyika Plateau or South Luangwa in Zambia. Described as 'legendary' by the Lonely Planet, this idyllic retreat is situated on Chikale Beach, just outside the vibrant port town of Nkhata Bay on the northern shores of Lake Malawi. What makes Njaya Lodge really special is that you are guaranteed an amazing holiday for a fraction of the price of other tourist hotels. You will also be secure in the knowledge that some of the money you pay really does go back into the local community. Inspired by Thailand, accommodation at Njaya Lodge is either simply furnished bamboo chalets with shady verandahs or comfortable ensuite cottages set in lush tropical gardens. All of the chalets overlook Chikale beach - an enchanting sandy cove shaded by Mango and Wild Fig trees. The fresh water of the lake is crystal clear and has been likened to a giant aquarium with excellent snorkelling opportunities to see unique colourful ciclid fish.

Lake Malawi is a wonderful place for young children who are learning to swim. Chikale Beach provides a clean, safe Bilharzia-free environment for splashing around, as well as lots of nice smooth rocks to jump off! At sunset you can take a boat trip along the lakeshore and see black monkeys swinging from the trees and have the chance to feed fish to our local friendly fish eagle! Activities include scuba diving, kayaking, horse riding, hill walking and trekking to remote mountain villages. Game viewing trips can also be arranged to Vwaza Marsh and the spectacular Nyika Plateau and South Luangwa in Zambia.
