Contact a specialist about Pumulani Lodge, Malawi

Pumulani enjoys a spectacular setting on the unspoilt western shore of the Nankumba Peninsula. Surrounding the lodge is Lake Malawi National Park – a World Heritage Site – where hundreds of species of fish, including rare and colourful cichlids, swim in the clear blue water. With high standards and friendly service guaranteed, Pumulani is the perfect location for a relaxing beach holiday, or a magical place to unwind after a wildlife safari. The name Pumulani means “rest well” in the local Chichewa language and that’s exactly what is on offer – the chance to unwind in a beautiful and tranquil setting.

At sunset set off on a scenic cruise on the lodge’s traditional wooden dhow, a 40ft sailing boat hand built by local craftsmen. It’s the perfect way to experience the beauty of Lake Malawi, described by the explorer David Livingstone as The Lake of Stars.
Birdwatchers will be in paradise - there is an abundance of birds in the lake shore beach and gardens as well as the hillside woodland.
Lake Malawi is the world’s most ecologically diverse lake. Its crystal clear waters are home to more than a thousand species of fish, including hundreds of species of colourful cichlids.
The southern part of the lake boasts some the best diving in Africa, with clouds of tropical fish swimming undisturbed amongst lush volcanic islands. Much of the action takes place in the calm shallows, making it excellent for snorkelling. The water is so clear that it is even possible to observe the marine life from aboard a boat or kayak.
