Senga is located at the tip of a broad peninsula jutting into the eastern part of Lake Malawi, 16 kilometres from Salima and just 90 minutes drive from the captial, Lilongwe. The picturesque area boasts a long stretch of sandy beach, and numerous hotels, lodges and campsites. Not as touristy as nearby Cape Maclear, Senga offers incredible scenes for photography. Fishing boats line the sands, and the shore bustles with playing children. By night the culture of the area comes alive with music. The neighbouring town of Salima is an important commercial and trading centre and is home to a wonderful market and all the modern luxuries and services.
