Karonga - Authentic Malawi - stay with locals

YannikRating, 5 stars54 months ago

Davie was an absolutely amazing host and helped us with everything (application for the visa, picking us up at the bus stop, buying Sim card, showing us around and things like that). At his home we where part of the family although we just stayed for 2 days. But the whole family was really helpful and nice to us. We got food 3 times a day which was very delicious (local food that was cooked by his wife and we ate it with his family). Davies home is located in Karonga close to the lake and also close to the bus stop and shopping opportunities. So if you want to make an awesome experience and stay with locals and learn about their culture i can absolutely recommend this homestay.

Highly Recommended! The Cottage & Amenities: The cottage is stunningly beautiful, offering direct access to a semi-public beach, a beautiful pool, and a private bar. The private bar, conveniently located at the beach, is a thoughtful touch – perfect for storing drinks without having to return to the cottage ( there is the host's house before you get to the beach from the cottage). Hospitality: The other amazing thing was the hospitality of Robert, the person in charge. He even offered to prepare us the breakfast and lunch, and it was amazing. We just brought the groceries and Chef Robert did his magic. Activities: There’s no shortage of activities to enjoy – from swimming and boat rides to kayaking and relaxing by the pool or beach. Communication: Ian, the host, was very responsive to all our questions and requests, enhancing our overall experience. Overall: This place is a gem for anyone looking for a mix of relaxation and adventure. Already looking forward to our next visit!
