You are in Africa, sitting under the shade of a fig tree, looking out over one of the worlds largest freshwater lakes. To your right rock pools filled with crystal clear water, teem with fluorescent coloured fish darting amongst smooth ancient boulders. On your left lies a white sandy beach stretching away from you, backed by pristine green forest. All you can hear is the warm waters of this tropical lake lapping against the beach. Out on the lake the silhouette of a fisherman in his wooden canoe passes by as he paddles home with his days catch. Sounds like the perfect place to relax? At Nkwichi Lodge, on the shores of Lake Niassa in Mozambique, its just the end of another day in this peaceful corner of Africa.   Mozambique has made a remarkable recovery over the last few years by becoming one of Africas up and coming tourist destinations. One of Mozambiques highlights is Lake Niassa (Lake Malawi). Nkwichi Lodge is located on the western shores of this stunning lake. The lodge has played an important part in Mozambiques renaissance, acting as a shining light for responsible tourism.  First impressions are so important. There are no roads within 10 miles of Nkwichi. You can only reach the lodge by boat. This immediately creates a feeling of remoteness and tranquillity. You hardly notice the lodge as you arrive on the sandy beach. It has been carefully built to blend in with the surrounding scenery. However you will immediately feel the warm welcome given to you by the local Nyanja people. They are there to ensure you have a memorable stay at Nkwichi. Its up to you how much or how little you do at Nkwichi. The lake is the perfect setting to swim, snorkel, sail or canoe whilst the surrounding Manda Game Reserve is there for you to explore, walk and visit local communities. However much exercise you take there is always the comforting knowledge that you can return to the white sandy beach, relax, sun bathe and read a good book. Nkwichi Lodge is one of those places that grow on you. The only disappointment you will feel when staying here is the realisation at some stage you will have to leave. Many guests overcome this by returning time and again to this beautiful part of Africa.
