Tucked away in a sheltered cove in a lush setting of the African bush, no travel guide or picture can prepare you for the visual experience of colours and textures amidst the smooth untouched bay of Chembe Eagles Nest. It provides a true sense of peace.
The quiet and idyllic chalets all face Lake Malawi under a sheltered thatched patio with a pair of easy chairs to watch the exquisite sunsets. The 11 chalets feature six with double beds and five with twin beds and they are all en-suite with showers. If you are more inclined to outdoor living, the adjoining campsite with spectacular views of the hills and lake will suit you best. Campers have their own wash-up area, braai facilities and beautifully pristine ablutions with ample privacy from the rest of the lodge.
Take a relaxing cruise on our catamaran, Mama Afrika, while sipping on an ice cold gin and tonic, or view the 'butterflies of the lake' as you snorkel through Lake Malawi, and for the more energetic, Chembe offers water skiing and tube riding as well as kayaking.
The far cry of fish eagles as they soar over and the emergence of otters as they feast on nearby rocks, set apart from the hustle and bustle of village life, guarantees a relaxing experience in Cape Maclear.
