Activities

Kayaking - Rent a kayak nearby and kayak along the shores or be adventurous and kayak out to one onf the many small islands nearby.

Hiking - an easy 80 minute trail starts near the Missionary Graves and takes you up to a viewing point above the village. There are other harder walks, which are not so easily marked, for these it is worthwhile finding a guide in town or at the Lake Malawi National Park. Alternatively, get a beach boy to take you up and tell you some stories.

Bird Watching and Wildlife - See majestic African Fish Eagles swoop over the lake, see Kingfishers, kestrels and other birds or snorkel or scuba dive amongst the many species of colourful fish including the well known Malawi Cichlids. 

Attractions

Lake Malawi National Park is a national park located at the southern end of Lake Malawi. It is the only national park in Malawi that was created to protect fish and aquatic habitats. Despite this, Lake Malawi National Park does include a fair amount of land, including several small islands in Lake Malawi, and is home to other animals such as baboons. A large baobab tree, purportedly over 800 years old, is said to have been a favourite of Dr. David Livingstone as a place where he could give sermons and speak with other missionaries. The many endemic fish species make it a key example of specialized evolution. For this characteristic, it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984.

Places of Interest

Zomba - if you've gotten a little bit sunburnt, you can head south to the former capital of Malawi, and a beautiful, wooded mountain-town.
