Things to do nearby
Freshwater lake towns like Cape Maclear and Nkhata Bay draw a small but steady backpacker-nomad crowd for cheap lakeside living, diving among the rift lake's cichlid fish, and a slow pace far from East Africa's coastal hubs.
●Eat: Try chambo (Lake Malawi's signature fish), nsima with beans, and fresh grilled fish off the beach.
