Wow, this is a amazing place to stay.. The lodge is beautiful and charming, staff is welcoming and warm. I recommend to take a tour thru the rainforrest with a guide. You get homemade bread and fresh flowers laying on your bed and in the bathroom...
Wow! Thanks! I am pleased to read about the details like our fresh flowers in the room and homemade bread that have made your stay a memorable one! Our guide is truly a special one and he will go out of his way to ensure the best experience possible for your walk in the forest. So happy you had a chance to visit us during your stay in Malawi. Hope to see you again!
I managed to escape Lilongwe for a wonderful weekend at Ntchisi Forest Reserve! The lodge is in a beautiful location surrounded by a stunning rain forest!
I went for a hike along the marked paths and explored the rock formations and saw monkeys in the canopy.. later I did a long walk with the lovely guide Eston who took us around a different route through the beautiful jungle. Amazing views to the lake.. and then the food! SUPER TASTY and just so wonderfully presented with candle light.
I stayed in the luxury tent and it was really great, my porch was the best place to chill out reading my book, orchids hanging of the trees just next to me! Birds were coming and going, it was so peaceful to hang out there! I slept so well!
Thanks to Kaneli and Eston (who also grows/roasts his own coffee near the lodge - very good coffee!)
Also, again thanks for the help with the car mechanic when my car broke down! Really much appreciated! I suggest to visitors to get an off road vehicle and drive very carefully! It's a rough road, but so worth it!
We are so happy to read that you have thoroughly enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you for your kind words about us all and a very helpful review! Our highly praised kitchen serves dishes using as much as possible organic local produce, some of it from our own garden. Your home in the forest is waiting for you to come back for more beatiful walks in the rain forest as well as for more tasty meals!
A beautiful well kept lodge with both lodge accommodation, luxury camping and camping.
Scenery is stunning and we could see Lake Malawi and across into Mozambique. Gardens are well kept and the veranda and dining area are rustic and very well kept.
Stayed in the luxury tent - was fantastic - sleeping in a bed in the middle of the forest with the rain pouring down and was bone dry!!! Was able to see the amazing flashes from the thunder and lightening - felt park of nature but completely cosy and warm.
Thanks to the chef also for cooking an amazing vegan evening meal and to Kaneli for looking after us so well!
Thanks also to Eston the trekking guide who was a mind of information about the forest.
Thanks so much for your excellent review! So happy you loved the experience of sleeping in the tent in the forest - visiting in rainy season is truly special with great views. It was my pleasure to host you and we are proud we could cook you a vegan meal that you loved!

We enjoyed coming back to a place we had visited 47 years ago. The hotel was a very nice place to stay, the food was good,the manager was so helpful and friendly, and we enjoyed the hike up Ntchisi Mt. We inquired about buying local coffee and the manager referred us to a local man who lived nearby. It turned out that both he and his wife were our former students (1967 and 1968) in Ntchisi. Thanks for a great stay!
Thank you for your kind words and sharing your experience about your recent visit to our lodge! We loved having you here, and the get-together with our guide and his wife at the foot of the mountain to cherish old memories was so special! Hope you are enjoying the Ntchisi Forest coffee back home now!

In a superb setting with breathtaking view on the lake (if there is no mist). The service was very good and staff were very welcoming.
Food was great. Rooms of very good size. A wonderful garden leading directly to the forest when you can have very nice walks.
There is no electricity at night.
