I really enjoyed my stay here. What stood out most was the warm hospitality and friendliness of the people. The chalet was simple, clean, and charming, with a unique reed construction that gave it a lovely natural feel. The room and bathroom were clean and well maintained. There are also plenty of places to eat nearby, which was very convenient. Overall, it was a comfortable and pleasant stay, and I would be happy to stay here again.

Escape the touristy pretend Malawi and enter the village lake life experience and surround yourself with the real happy heart of Africa community The location is a perfect balance of village life and lake life, an easy walk through the local community to reach the stunning lake or the calm relaxed street with a few shops and restaurants The accommodation whilst basic covers everything you need to enjoy your chilled stay however long (I stayed for 10 nights) The ‘staff’ are excellent and will soon become your friends, there is a great little bar and the food is well prepared and very tasty If you’re looking for a laid back stay that’s within easy reach of the over touristy places like Cape Maclear but also want peace and quiet I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND staying here

I recently spent a couple of unforgettable days at Musafa Eco Lodge at Monkey Bay, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Despite the flooding of Lake Malawi, the team has done an incredible job making the lodge safe and comfortable for all guests. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and friendly smiles. The manager, Felix, was exceptionally helpful and ensured that all my needs were met. The activities offered were a highlight of my stay. I thoroughly enjoyed the boat trip on the lake with Andrew, who is an amazing guide with extensive knowledge of the area. The walk to the village with Adam was equally delightful, providing an insightful and enriching experience. One of the most impressive aspects of Musafa Eco Lodge is the food. Despite being nestled in the bush, the culinary offerings were exceptional. Every meal was a delicious surprise, adding to the overall enjoyment of my stay. In summary, my three days at Musafa Eco Lodge were among the best I've had anywhere in a long time. I am incredibly grateful to the team for their hospitality and can't wait to return when I get the chance. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Had a great stay with Taffy and Leoni. They were exemplary hosts. We sat and chatted with them a lot. The property was very pleasant to relax at. 'Almost' private beach. Locals would still cross and smile and wave. Staff were very friendly (Who isn't in Malawi?). Meals were excellent. Super relaxing spot. Room was spacious with outdoor shower. Didn't realise until the day of arrival that the main building had actually been built and lived in by legendary conservationist Norman Carr. Highly recommended. A completely different atmosphere to staying in the town of Cape Maclear where we also were. Thanks guys!

Guest review
The room (in the back yard, double room with own toilet & shower) was very good for the price. The location is perfect, in a quiet area, and just a short walk to the village. The food was very tasty, with vegetarian options available. The staff was super friendly, always smiling. We stayed for 10 nights and wouldn't have wanted to leave. Try the sunset cruise with their catamaran :) also the National park is a short walk away from the lodge, so we took a hike towards the view point and to Otter Point.

Location is good, with a short walk to the lake front.Rooms new and very clean. Felt very safe as the rooms are inside a gated compound. Staff were very friendly and helpful!
