Here, explore the KuNgoni Centre of Culture and Art, where you'll discover rich insights into the traditions of the Chewa, Yao, and Ngoni people through captivating exhibits, wood carvings, and historical storytelling.

Return to Casa Costantini for a light lunch and a bit of downtime. In the late afternoon, participate in a hands-on Malawian cooking class with local chefs—learn to prepare dishes like chambo fish, nsima, and masamba. Enjoy the meal you’ve helped prepare for dinner, served under lantern lights beside the lake.

Conclude the evening with stargazing on the beach or a gentle moonlit walk along the shoreline—soaking in the peaceful rhythm of Lake Malawi one last time.
