After your morning activity and breakfast, you will boat across the river for your private transfer to Cape Maclear, taking approximately 1.5 hours. Set on its own 750m-long, palm-lined beach on the southern shore of Lake Malawi, you’ll be staying at Makokola Retreat for the next four nights in a luxury sunset villa with your own private pool and terrace with dazzling views over Lake Malawi.

On land, get sporty on the tennis courts, volleyball court, try racquetball or a game of golf on the 18-hole golf course. Afterwards, cool off in the swimming pool and enjoy a bite to eat at the restaurant. With Italian owners, the homemade pizza and gelato here are excellent. Whatever you get up to, after a long day of adventure return to Makokola and indulge in a massage or treatment at the on-site spa.
