Malalangwe

Malalangwe Lodge was created which is both luxurious and totally in harmony with its environment which surrounds it. On the slopes of Dibe Hill are seven secluded chalets of local stone and thatch with its own spectacular view. All accommodation has en-suite bathroom facilities. The lodge is purposefully small-catering for guests although the service is of excellent standard. Also available are a dining area, a ladies bar, game viewing, game drives, a swimming pool and conference facilities. The lodge offers guided drives or walks (morning and evening), as Malalangwe is an ideal place to become familiar with the art of wildlife photography.
