About Makuzi Beach

Close Panel

Makuzi Beach is owner run and is near Chintheche village on the North shores of Lake Malawi.

The perfect place to unwind after a safari, or combine with a tour of Malawi, in particular the Nyika Plateau, Vwaza Marsh and the inland forest reserves.

There are eight standard chalets and three executive chalets, in well tended gardens on a private bay looking out over the lake.

The restaurant provides excellent food and meals are usually taken outdoors to dine under the stars at night.

There are plenty of activities here including swimming, snorkelling, kayaking and fishing, or just relax and take in the atmosphere! There is also a yoga instructor on site and massages available. Other activities are available in the region such as horse riding, bird watching, mountain biking or scuba diving. Makuzi is involved with local community projects and offers guests the chance to get visit them too, such as village tours including a trip to an historical missionary site.

We hope the following will give you a rough idea of costs. These are quoted per person based on twin share for two people, without international flights but including internal flights. We’ve used good standard accommodation throughout. There are nearly always ways to spend more money than we’ve suggested (!), but these prices show a good and realistic range for each type of trip.

International flights will add from about £600 to £800 depending on the season and route (unless the airlines have special offers). Malawi combines well with Zambia.

I loved this place! Makuzi has one of the nicest beaches, it's small but because it sits in a protected cove it's private and calm. The water was like a warm bath! The food was superb. The only thing I would say is that the standard rooms (rondavels) badly need an overhaul, they were dirty and run down. The executive (new) rooms on the other hand were stunning. They do know about this and are renovating the rondavels, but my advice would be to make sure you get an executive room. The walk around the village from here was superb - it was like the pied piper walking past the school, being followed by about 500 children!
