On a Mozambique holiday here, guests can do nothing at all in complete peace or enjoy blissful snorkelling, swimming and sailing. On land there are wilderness walks and island tours.

The white beach in front of the lodge is known as Mchenga Nkwichi, meaning 'the sand that squeaks' and is an ideal Mozambique holiday destination. Lake Niassa's crystal clear fresh water teeming with fluorescent fish is superb for snorkelling. The lodge dhow is great for sailing up and down the shore and stopping at deserted beaches for picnics and sunbathing.

Likoma Island excursions include visits to interesting sites and the historic St Pauls Cathedral. Trips to the island are timed if possible to coincide with services so guests can experience the atmosphere and hear the choir sing.

Manda Wilderness Reserve has been created in alliance with local communities to preserve the wildlife found here in this part of Northern Mozambique. The reserve covers 600 square km and is home to Elephant, Sable, Reedbuck, Leopard and more than 300 bird species.

Nkwichi Lodge offers guided walks or guests can set off on their own with a map. Special Mozambique camping safaris in Manda Wilderness Reserve or on the lake with a guide and chef are fascinating and never to be forgotten.
