At 18 square kilometres, Likoma Island is the largest landmass in Lake Malawi. It lies around half way down the lake, way over on the eastern side. Although the two islands here lie just 2km from the Mozambique coast and are completely surrounded by their neighbour’s territorial waters, they remain very much a part of Malawi.

At the request of missionary explorer David Livingstone, a major mission station was started here in 1880 and the enormous oversized Anglican cathedral that they built is still in use today.

The island has around 14500 inhabitants, making it one of the most densely populated parts of the country. The main commercial activities are fishing and, increasingly, tourism.

However the landscapes remain pleasantly undisturbed, with large areas of open grassland and lots of impressive baobab and mango trees, as well as some relatively impressive beaches.

Getting there

The property area is accessed by shared charter flight from Lilongwe International Airport (often connecting in from the South Luangwa area of eastern Zambia) to the local airport on Likoma Island, from where it is a road transfer of around 10 minutes.

a fantastic alternative to the Indian Ocean
