Hiking is awesome in Nkhotakota! This was the 3 hour hike up Kusukusuku mountain! But there are over 40 other mountains to explore also ⛰️ Come see for yourself :)

The walking safari at Bua is often one of our guest's highlights! To be able to walk in dense, wild forest, and along the river, is often not possible in other safari destinations. And it's not all about the big animals, our walk also teaches bush skills and medicinal uses of plants and trees. Every walk is unique and wonderful ✨️ ❤️

Come to Bua, and make a week of it by combining it with some of the other great spots in Northern Malawi ... here are just a FEW of our favourites!!

Bua River Lodge is in central Malawi, around 4 hours drive north of the capital, Lilongwe. Bua and Nkhotakota are ideally positioned as a gateway to Northern Malawi, making it easy to combine with some of the country's most spectacular destinations.
Continue north to the rolling grasslands and wildlife of Nyika National Park, or head to the shores of Lake Malawi, where the lakeside retreats of Chintheche and Nkhata Bay offer crystal-clear turquoise waters, secluded beaches and excellent snorkelling.
Two hours north, along the lake shore, boats connect visitors to the remote island of Likoma and the untouched Mozambican side of the lake. Adventurous travellers can even journey aboard the famous MV Ilala ferry, which actually departs from right here in Nkhotakota, spending a night under the stars on deck or choosing a private cabin.
Further north, discover the historic mission town of Livingstonia, perched high above the lake escarpment, or visit Karonga, home to the renowned Malawisaurus fossil discoveries.
Guests returning to Lilongwe can complete a scenic circuit via the M1, with opportunities to visit the Viphya Mountains, Ntchisi Forest Reserve or Kasungu National Park along the way
