Island hopping
Beautiful islands can be found in Lake Malawi, ranging in size from the tiny Domwe and Mumbo islands, which are uninhabited year-round, to Likoma Island, which is home to lively local populations and a few exceptional lodges. Hippos, otters, bush babies, and 300 different species of birds may be seen on the three Marelli Islands, which are protected as part of the Lake Malawi National Park, as well as on the extremely laid-back Chizumulu Island, which you can walk all the way around in under three hours.
A private island in the midst of Lake Malawi called Mumbo Island is ideal for affluent tourists seeking an unspoiled paradise. There has never been a permanent population living on the island. Mumbo has no electricity or mobile service, so you can genuinely receive the necessary digital detox if you want to spend a few special days with your significant other, friends, or family. The wooden stilted rooms at Mumbo Island Hotel, which look out onto Lake Malawi's turquoise waters, are the epitome of casual elegance. To see the spectacular morning and the island's birdlife, leave the balcony doors open. You may engage in activities like kayaking, yoga, hiking, sunset boat cruises, and more while visiting Mumbo Island.

On Likoma Island, there aren't many places to stay, but there is this incredible place called "Kaya Mawa," which is frequently listed as one of the top 10 most romantic lodges in the world. They provide fishing, boating, and snorkeling excursions. The level of service at this hotel is exceptional, and being surrounded by beautiful beaches and crystal-clear water will make you believe you are anywhere in the Caribbean.
