7 Days Lake Malawi Island Hopping

Our Lake Malawi Island Hopping trip is an adventure for your bucket list. A fully supported and catered kayaking trip staying on two of the lake’s most pristine and preserved islands, Mumbo and Domwe.

This Malawi adventure Package covers eight kilometers of open water separating Mumbo Island from Domwe. On Mumbo Island barefoot luxury is the theme. There is everything you need and nothing that you don’t. The camp is perched on high rocks overlooking the water and blends in with the African bush to create a Robinson Crusoe atmosphere of rustic charm.

Domwe Island Adventure Camp is basic but exclusive. The camp lies behind a small beach on the west side of this magnificent and wild island, offering sunset views over the lake with Mumbo Island and the mountainous edge of the African Rift Valley in the distance

Both camps are built using only reeds, timber, thatch, and canvas. The emphasis is on the beauty provided by Mother Nature, and on doing stuff like sea kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, and exploring on foot. Of course – these being islands this list also includes just doing nothing…

You have the choice of traveling between the islands by boat or paddling it yourself by kayak.
