On the Northern shores of Lake Malawi, Central Africa, lies Chitimba Beach Lodge & Campsite. Chitimba is a village situated 90km south of the Malawi/Tanzania border Karonga, and 120km from the capital of the north, Mzuzu.
The lodge is set on a beautiful golden sand beach, amongst banana palms and papaya trees, surrounded by the famous Livingstonia and Nyika mountains. It lies off a newly complete tarmac road (only a few potholes!) that runs straight through the country, from the border all the way to the capital city of Lilongwe. As you enter the property through large wooden gates the main focus is the large thatched bar/restaurant/lounge and pool room, built in 2004. On the right of the 1.8 hectares are 5 Thai inspired beach huts, 4 ensuite rooms,although when busy one is used as a dorm. Guests are free to camp where they wish. There is also a male/female toilet shower block.
On the opposite side of the property, fenced off for privacy, is the main house. Behind it a veggie garden. At the very back corner is the generator house. The generator is usually turned on at about 4.30pm depending on how busy we are and runs until everyone is in bed, which granted, some nights can be very late! It manages to keep the drinks in the fridge cold the whole of the next day.
The lodge caters for overland trucks, backpackers, Ex-Pats and the littlest of hobo's. It is the first (heading south) or last (heading North) stop in Malawi for overlanders. So there is a regular flow of guests.
There lies wonderful oppurtunities to run safari's from Chitimba to Nyika National park (180km approx), Vwaza Marsh (80km approx) and up to Livingstonia, where it is also possible to abseil and rap jump. There is alot of money to be made in driving people up to see Livingstonia mission, and to visit Manchewe falls, as well as safari's.
The government recently put up a mobile phone mast in Chilumba (next town) So we can now use mobiles. There has been rumours about electricity being hooked up soon. And we do have satellite TV, so we are up to date on everything.
Occupancy for the year is Jan - May (low season) 4 trucks/wk on average plus backpackers. Approx 20 people/ truck. May - Jan (peak) 7 - 10 trucks a BP's.
We apologise but up until the 6th January our lodge was listed as $106,000 it was supposed to be in GBP£. It is £100,000. Sorry for anyone who viewed this wrong.
