Reconnect with nature in a Malawian Paradise

A experiência

Ahoy there, adventurers, explorers and seekers.

I'm Luke, a long-term traveller and volunteer of 4 years. In 2023, I decided to slow down a bit and build a home on the beautiful shores of Lake Malawi.

The long-term plan is to create a space where people can come and reconnect with nature, slow down, relax, and heal.

Atividades & Turnos

3-4 hours of work Monday - Friday. These hours are flexible.

First off, the area is AMAZING, and I'm so grateful for being able to live here. It's the 4th largest freshwater lake in the world and is home to the most species of lake fish anywhere on earth. It has crystal clear waters, and it's quite warm even in the winter. It's perfect for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding and fishing.

You have the opportunity to experience authentic Malawian life, meet the village Chief and interact with the local community if you wish.

You can experience a trip in a hand-made canoe with the local fishermen, catch, cook and eat chambo, butterfish or usipa.

In your free time, you can relax in a hammock, contemplate life, write a book, sing a song and play the guitar.

You can borrow the kayak, try standing up on the paddle-board and explore the untouched island a few hundred meters away.

Try your luck beating me at Chess, play Monopoly, Poker, Hero Quest, PS4 and other games.

You can go for a lovely wander. I can organise hikes and boat trips if you wish, depending on the length of your stay.
