Lake Malawi © D.R.
Cruise on lake Malawi to enjoy its banks, vast expanse and the splendid mountains around it. Regular cruises are offered each week between March and May. A journey of over 621 miles between Monkey Bay and Karonga takes 5 to 6 days (book cabins well in advance). Along the lake are wonderful beaches where you can swim, dive (lake Malawi has over 500 fish species, some of which are unique in the world), do water-ski or windsurf. The site is also inhabited by several bird species like the kingfisher or black eagle.
