THE SPECIALISTS IN WORLDWIDE TRAVEL

Mumbo Island Camp is named for the pristine, practically deserted tropical island on which it is built. The crystal-clear, warm waters of Lake Malawi National Park are the first in the world set aside for the protection of freshwater fish. With over 2000 species present, this region of Lake Malawi is often considered the best freshwater diving and snorkelling location on the planet.

Accommodation at the intimate Mumbo Island Camp comprises tastefully furnished, comfortable tents with hot bucket showers and ‘eco-loos’. With an exclusive limit of only 14 guests at a time, Mumbo Island Camp is perched on rocks high above the water, blending with the environment perfectly to create a place of rustic charm and minimal impact. Tucked into the lush foliage, each tent is fully furnished with its own shaded view-deck and hammock. Mumbo Island Camp adheres to strict principles of eco-architecture, so the dining area, bar and water sport gazebo, are all hand built from timber, thatch and canvas.

The most popular activities here are diving or snorkelling through the crystal-clear water and lazing in a hammock in the ‘chill-out’ area, contemplating the breathtaking scenery. Mumbo Island Camp is a PADI registered resort offering beginner, advanced and specialty courses in scuba diving, as well as gear hire and casual dives. Swimming, kayaking, and bird watching are also popular. For the more intrepid, there are boating and paddling options, exploring the granitic islands in a freshwater Rift Valley lake. Mumbo Island Camp is the perfect destination for relaxing and is a great option after a few days on safari in Zambia.
