Lake Malawi Snorkelling

Life on the beaches of Malawi moves at a relaxed pace. After a peaceful morning swinging in a hammock or relaxing on your private terrace; grab a mask and fins and disappear under the surface of the warm, clear water.

Lake Malawi has the largest number of fish species of any lake in the world.

Hours drift by as you swim among huge granite boulders, watching the amazing variety of small, colourful cichlids and their strange behavior patterns - like newborns swimming into the mouths of their mothers at the sign of potential danger.

All you need is a swimming costume, as all our recommended Lake Malawi accommodation has fins and masks, and the water is far too warm for a wetsuit.

You can stay at Nkwichi Lodge and go snorkelling through the rock pools on the remote Mozambique coast of Lake Malawi.

Kaya Mawa's romantic bungalows each have direct access to the calm waters of the Lake, while Mumbo Island is on the blue waters of Lake Malawi National Park, the world's first fresh-water marine reserve.
