Having recently returned stateside from a three week stay in Northern Malawi, I can safely recommend: Kande Beach Campsite for a really good time and Mwaya Lodge for a more relaxing stay. Both spots are unique for what they have to offer. Kande has a dive school, parasailing, hobie cat and kayak rentals and usually pick up volleyball games, cricket etc... Mwaya is simply beautiful and relaxing, completely calm. Have a great time wherever you end up!!!
