\n Small-scale lodge in Nkhotakota Wildelife Reserve<\/h2>\n

\n The super comfortable and eco-friendly Tongole Wilderness Lodge<\/strong>   lies deep in the rugged and breathtakingly beautiful miombo forests of Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve.<\/strong> This unspoilt nature reserve is adjacent to Lake Malawi <\/strong>and is home to elephants, antelopes, monkeys, crocodiles and countless birds.<\/p>\n

\n The four spacious reed-covered chalets are built and furnished with local materials and fabrics. On your own large wooden terrace you can enjoy the panoramic views over the   Bua<\/strong>   River and the forests behind.<\/p>\n

\n At breakfast, the activities are discussed. Walking through the bush early in the morning and discovering the diversity of fauna and flora. Bathing elephants and rare birds can observe during a kayak safari. In the late afternoon you can enjoy sipping on the usual gin and tonic of a beautiful sunset. The evening concludes with a tasteful dinner under a sparkling starry sky and only the sound of the bush.<\/p>\n
