Situated at Cape Maclear, Domwe Island is the largest unpopulated island on Lake Malawi and is separated from the mainland by a narrow gap. It is exclusive and even boasts of its very own private beach surrounded by natural rock formations. It is self-catered and a great place for those wanting a real African experience. There are 3 fully furnished safari tents, as well as 2 tent sites and a dining area with a bar. It opens from mid-February till mid-January. Friendly to children and ideal for a stay of 2 days. Hidden in the woods and your very own private beach, this is a great little find at the lake for a rustic experience. If you have the energy, then get into one of the kayaks and head to the gorgeous Thumbi Island across the way in the same vicinity.
