Mumbo Island Camp is named after the pristine, practically deserted tropical island on which it is built.

The seven comfortable tents are Mumbo are tastefully furnished and feature hot bucket showers and 'eco-loos'. With an exclusive limit of only 14 guests at a time, Mumbo Island Camp is perched on rocks high above the water, blending with the environment perfectly to create a place of rustic charm and minimal impact. Tucked into the lush foliage, each tent is fully furnished with its own shaded view-deck and hammock. Mumbo Island Camp adheres to strict principles of eco-architecture, so the dining area, bar and water sport gazebo, are all hand built from timber, thatch and canvas.

Unlike most island destinations in the region, Mumbo Island has never been populated by humans and is still in its natural state. This, together with the focus on non-motorised water sports, makes Mumbo Island Camp ideal for the active outdoors enthusiast. The most popular activities here are diving or snorkelling through the crystal-clear water and lazing in a hammock in the 'chill-out' area, contemplating the breathtaking scenery.

Swimming, kayaking, and bird watching are all available at Mumbo Island Camp. The camp is also a PADI registered resort offering beginner, advanced and specialty courses in scuba diving, as well as gear hire and casual dives, all at additional cost. For the more intrepid, there are boating and paddling options, exploring the granitic islands in the freshwater Rift Valley lake.

Birders can enjoy the abundant African Fish-Eagles amongst others and snorkelers can view enormous numbers of the cichlid fish species. These small, colourful fish have adapted to so many variations that they are considered of comparable importance to the Galapagos finches in the study of evolution.

Airstrip transfer time: 4 hours road transfer Lilongwe to Cape Maclear followed by a 45 minute boat transfer to the island
