Nankumba Peninsula

The Nankumba Peninsula is a wonderful resort destination reaching out into turquoise Lake Malawi from the south. Crowned by the UNESCO-listed Lake Malawi National Park, the peninsula offers spectacular views, experiences of indigenous nature, and an array of fun-filled activities, including hiking, cycling, dhow rides, some of the best freshwater scuba diving in the world, and more. Golden sandy beaches provide the perfect excuse for a day spent lounging in the sun, while the array of cafes, bars, and restaurants overlooking the water make this a popular spot among gourmands. Keep a lookout for kingfishers, Dickinson's kestrels, and freckled nightjars. Delve into local culture with a village tour, drumming lesson, jewellery-making workshop, or a browse of one of the lively markets.
