Danforth Lodge, Malawi's water-sporting hotspot

Life at this pretty guesthouse in Cape Maclear on the shore of Lake Malawi is all about watersports, and once you’re gliding across the shimmering lake atop a pair of water-skis (or better still, on a private yacht), we guarantee that the troubles of life will be forgotten and you’ll never want to leave. And of course, if a bit of R&R is what you’re after, hosts Michelle and Howard will ensure a sun-lounger is always waiting and an exquisite 5-star culinary creation is never far away. Malawi is, after all, famous for its remarkable hospitality.

Water babies will be very at home at Danforth; there’s a fully stocked dive centre on the beach and kayaking, tubing, sailing and snorkelling are all offered too. For those who want to stick to land, mountain biking, nature walks and trips to the village are all good fun and led by knowledgeable guides. And if none of those tickle your fancy, how about a private cruise on the magnificent Mufasa catamaran complete with champagne on ice?
