MALAWI, C'EST CHIC
Pumulani Offline map (
01-794491; www.pumulani.com ; all-inclusive rate per person US$460;
) is a stylish lakeside lodge with nature-inspired rooms - think grass roofs and huge windows to let
in the light, views of the surrounding forest and lake, and massive wooden terraces from which to gaze at the clear
waters and sweep of golden sand below. The food here is equally amazing and private candlelit barbecues on the
beach can be arranged. Yes, it's expensive, but a number of activities are included in the price, including snor-
kelling, fishing and trips on the romantic old traditional wooden dhow.
Other touches of luxury in Malawi? How about Kaya Mawa ( Click here ) , where you can step directly from the
terrace of your rustic-luxury rock-hewn bungalow into the crystal waters of the lake, or Mvuu Wilderness Lodge (

Eating & Drinking
Popular with travellers are beach barbecues arranged by local guides. A chicken or fish
barbecue accompanied by drummers costs around US$10 per person and can be arranged
by your lodge, or just ask around the village.

Mgoza Restaurant $
Offline map
(mains MK1300; ) With shaded palapa shelters in a garden facing the lake, this
is a cool spot to chat in the friendly bar or chill outside and take dinner.
Based at Mgoza Lodge, the restaurant serves up great full English breakfasts, healthy
fruit smoothies and come evening, it's flickering in candlelight as you lick your chops
over fresh fish, and perhaps the best homemade hamburgers in Malawi.
Boma/Hiccups Pub $
Offline map
(dishes MK1500; noon-late; ) A slice of sophistication, the bar is all shad-
ow and backlit wall-mounted masks. A projector screens live sport or news while a maze
of alcoves and woody corridors scattered with wicker loungers invites you to explore.
This is a great place for dinner; feast on salads, Hungarian goulash, veggie lasagna, steak
and chips or chambo.
