This is about as close to paradise as you can get! Mumbo Island is situated off the beach resort of Cape Maclear, off the shore of Southern Lake Malawi. The water around the water are crystal-clear and offer an amazing snorkelling (and if you can diving) location!
The luxury, yet rustic cabins are perched on rocks high above the water, each with its own shaded view-deck and hammock, offering sweeping views of the lake.
Spending a couple of days there is the most relaxing way of chilling, swimming, relaxing, sunbathing, birdwatching, and enjoying the vista. No power, no computers or cell phones to interrupt your time on the island.
I went there with a group and we had the best time, snorkeling, swimming, riding the boat around the island, swimming among the fish, and at night taking all part in a murder mystery!
Next time, if there is a next time, a nice romantic getaway would be nice!
We can't wait to come and visit you! What an amazing place!

Bonjour,
ReplyDeleteJe suis arrivé sur votre blog via « mumbo island » sur facebook qui en fait la publicité. En lisant votre aventure je me demande si vous ne seriez pas la personne avec qui j’ai échangé quelques mots lorsque nous attendions le vol pour Lilongwe en septembre 2011 à l’aéroport de Nairobi ? Je venais de Suisse et passait une semaine entre le parc national de Liwonde & Mumbo Island.
