The flight duration is approximately 1hr. Met on arrival where a boat will be waiting to transfer you round the island to the lodge. This portion of the itinerary will give you 2 days of swimming, relaxing, culture and history.

Likoma is the larger of 2 small islands situated in the far north of Lake Malawi and is well to east of the Lake, very close to Mozambique. To visit the island is to step back in time. Just 17 sq kilometres, with one small dirt road and 6 vehicles, the local population survives largely by fishing, and rice and cassava farming. The island has hundreds of huge baobab trees and a number of glorious sandy beaches and rocky coves. The waters are crystal-clear throughout the year and the diving and snorkelling is among the best in Lake Malawi. The feeling of being of another era is completed by the impressive Anglican Cathedral built in the early 1900s.
