Mumbo Island
Mumbo Island is nestled amidst the vast expanse of Lake Malawi. This unspoiled paradise beckons travellers with its remarkable underwater scenery, featuring colossal boulders and a vibrant array of cichlid fish. It is often touted as one of the world's top destinations for freshwater snorkeling and SCUBA diving.
This camp is built of timber, thatch and canvas, and is perched on high rocks overlooking the water, blending with the African bush to create a ‘Robinson Crusoe’ atmosphere of rustic charm.
About
Just a stone's throw from Mumbo's main beach, you'll find the camp, consisting of a lodge building and a welcoming family bungalow. Across a picturesque bridge lies the islet of Jumbo, home to five guest tents that exude tranquility. Enjoy delectable, freshly prepared meals with warm, homemade bread rolls. The camp's wooden furniture is lovingly handcrafted on-site, and the rest of the furnishings, including cane chairs and soft textiles, are thoughtfully sourced from local artisans.
Rooms
Mumbo Island caters to a maximum of fourteen guests, ensuring an intimate and secluded experience. The five reed chalets, perched on the enchanting islet of "Jumbo," have been thoughtfully positioned to provide privacy. Each chalet features its own en-suite bathroom, a private deck adorned with a hammock, and captivating views of the turquoise waters surrounding Mumbo.
Activity
Mumbo Island invites you to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Lake Malawi. Spend your days swimming in its clear waters or unwinding in a hammock.
