Cape Maclear Attractions & Activities - The Best Holiday Destinations for 2020
View of Lake Malawi from Fat Monkeys
Cape Maclear (aka Chembe) is a small fishing village on Lake Nyasa (Lake Malawi) in Malawi. It has one dirt road leading into (and straight out of) town. Along this road, there are a few hostels, some dive shops, a handful of vendors selling curios and fruit and a few bars. The pace of life here is . . . very . . . slow.
Mumbo Island is located about 4km offshore, inside Cape Maclear National Park, to the southern end of Lake Malawi.
The camp, which is set around a small cove on the eastern shore, comprises just six rooms. The island is renowned for its freshwater diving, kayaking and hammocks.
This old hippy hangout has been transformed into a very cool little lodge, but still retains the same laid back atmosphere.
