Chitimba

Chitimba is a tiny town on the shores of Lake Malawi in Malawi's far north, set two hours drive from the Tanzanian border. The lake’s long golden sand beaches are fringed by palm and papaya groves, while in the background steep mountain peaks contribute to the scene. A stroll along the coast will take you past traditional fishing villages and allow you to experience beautiful birdlife, while more challenging trails are also on offer (up to Manchewe Falls or on the Livingstonia Mountainsexceptional lake views). Immerse yourself in local culture with a guided walk to visit the resident witch doctor, try your hand at wood carving, or take a lesson in crafting Malawian jewellery.
