Description
Zulunkhuni River Lodge..
(formerly “Wherearewe?”)
…is located near the small fishing village of RUARWE, 60km north of Nkhata Bay.
Between Nkhata Bay and Chitimba is the least developed stretch of coastline on the Malawi lakeshore. This area is populated by tiny fishing communities, often cut off from the rest of the country with access only by boat. This is due to the unique topography of steep forested escarpments and roaring waterfalls which make the area a road builder's nightmare, and therefore an ecologist’s paradise. ZULUNKHUNI RIVER LODGE is an eco lodge set within this paradise.
How do I get there?
From Nkhata Bay:
- MV Ilala leaves Nkhata Bay on Sunday 7am going north.
- Nyauyaya Local Boat Taxi leaves Nkhata Bay on Wednesday around noon going north to Ruarwe. This however is rather unreliable and must be checked beforehand.
-A boat can be arranged to take you to Ruarwe anytime through the week as long as there is a minimum of four people staying in chalets. This will cost MK2500 per person.
From Chitimba and Livingstonia:
- MV Ilala leaves Chilumba on Mondays very early in the morning.
- For the more adventurous, a challenging but very rewarding guided hike from Livingstonia to Ruarwe can be arranged through Mushroom Farm in Livingstonia. Tel: 0999652485 or 0888591564
From Mzuzu:
- There is a stunning road through the North Viphya mountains to Usisya which you can travel either by your own high clearance car or using local matolas which leave Mzuzu every day at 11am from outside Chenda Hotel. From Usisya you can then walk (four - seven hours along the lakeshore; porters can be arranged for heavy bags) or take a boat north to Ruarwe. Please note: the road is unsurfaced so a 4x4 car is recommended after rains.
