Lake Niassa Shore Camp

70% of revenue stays with the host community.

About

A budget eco-camp on the golden shores of Lake Niassa (Lake Malawi), near the community of Cobué. Simple bandas (thatched bungalows) steps from crystal-clear freshwater beaches. Activities include snorkeling among cichlid fish (Lake Niassa has more endemic fish species than any lake in the world), canoe paddling in dugout canoes, community fishing, and stargazing on the beach. The camp is community-owned, with 70% of revenue funding a freshwater project and a community boat rescue service.
