Nkwichi Lodge, self-catering luxury chalet Niassa E

Nkwichi Lodge, a halcyon paradise hidden on the pristine Mozambican shores of Lake Malawi.

Self-catering accommodation is now available in our five beautiful chalets, each offering complete privacy.

More than a lodge, Nkwichi is a complete experience offering a unique taste of Africa with exquisite lakeside scenery and unparalleled tranquillity.

Set on 4 km of Rift Valley coastline, Nkwichi is the perfect setting to discover a lost world; a fresh-water oasis and an Africa untouched.
