Namizimu Forest Retreat

Hidden within the Namizimu Forest Reserve, an abandoned forest estate is being slowly refurbished and improved to create a peaceful and relaxed sanctuary high in the mountains across the Shire River.

Namizimu Forest Retreat is an oasis of peace and tranquillity. In a part of Malawi with virtually no tourists and zero visitor infrastructure, we offer the only visitor accommodation available on the South Eastern side of Lake Malawi.

Our elevated position, 1500 feet above the lake, provides one of Malawi’s best view points, offering a huge panorama all the way from Zomba Mountain to Cape McLear. If you enjoy peace and quiet, in beautiful natural places, you will enjoy the indigenous forest setting and the informal atmosphere of Namizimu.
 
Location / Directions

Only 20 minutes drive from Mangochi, we are mid-way between Liwonde and Cape Maclear. Turn east at Mangochi and cross the Shire River, heading towards Mozambique. After a few km along the flat valley plain, the road climbs up the steep hill to Chowe Village. A hundred metres beyond the Chowe village sign, take the dirt track up the hill on the left. (see map)

Porters are available for those wish to walk up to the retreat, let us know how you plan to arrive and we can offer advice and have help on hand.
