Mumbo Island Holiday in Malawi

7 Day Malawi Island Castaway Holiday

Spend a weeks holiday on an island with our Malawi Island Castaway Holiday, a pristine and deserted tropical island floating on the expansive waters of the Lake Malawi National Park.

Malawi Island Castaway takes you to Mumbo Island, the best choice for a Malawi holiday with a maze of massive underwater boulders, innumerable species of colorful fish and calm, clear water. The Lake Malawi National Park offers what many consider the best freshwater snorkeling and SCUBA diving in the world. The Island is only 1 km in diameter and has never been populated so it remains in a pristine condition.

Your lodgings on the Malawi Island Castaway are rustic and environmentally friendly to give the true ambience of a castaway in the middle of Lake Malawi in Africa. While staying on Mumbo Island you will have all meals included and served (self catering options are available on the sister island - Domwe Island) as well as all transport from Lilongwe or Blantyre Airport. Kayak and snorkeling equipment are available to use free of charge during your stay.
