Likoma Island is the larger
of two small islands situated in the far north of Lake
Malawi, on the east of the Lake and very close to the
Mozambique coastline. To visit the island is to step back in
time. Just 17 square kilometres with one small dirt road and
two vehicles, the local people survive largely by fishing,
and rice and cassava farming. The island has hundreds of
huge baobab trees and a number of glorious sandy beaches and
rocky coves. The waters are crystal clear throughout the
year and the diving and snorkelling is among the best in
Lake Malawi.
Accommodation at Kaya Mawa Lodge
Kaya Mawa Lodge is situated on the
south-western tip of the Island at the head of a
crescent-shaped bay, surrounded by mango trees and ancient
baobabs. The lodge consists of ten stone and teak-framed
thatched cottages set into a granite headland. There is a
honeymoon house tucked away on its own private island that
is reached by boat or a wooden walkway. Each cottage faces
the lake and has a 7- by 6-foot mahogany four-poster bed, a
shower, a sunken stone bathtub and a loo with a view. The
view from the shower in the honeymoon suite defies
description. All the cottages have private terraces with
direct access to the water, and some can only be reached by
walkways built over the lake.
Activities at Kaya Mawa Lodge
The stunning setting of
the lodge and the unique comfort of the rooms means that
many guests choose to make relaxation their main
activity, but enough activities are on offer to keep
guests busy. Scuba, snorkelling, swimming, sailing and
visits to the local villages are part of the experience.
Day trips to Mozambique can be arranged. Access is by
air or by boat.
