Don't be discouraged! - 22 years ago

My daughter was born there and we stayed until she was 2 and a half. I still own Mwaya Beach Lodge near Chintheche. We returned due to personal and family reasons but it is the most wonderful place in the world for children. Most local children roam around freely with their friends until their tummies tell them it's time to head back home to eat or the sun goes down!
