Hiking

Mount Mulanje is the highest mountain in Malawi, spanning a massive 345 sq miles with the highest peak, Sapitwa, at 3002m above sea level. Nestled at the foot of the mountain, Likhubula Forest Lodge gives a panoramic view of the mountain and surrounding area.

Guests may choose to enjoy shorter walks through the forest along trails around the lodge and surrounding areas – some special highlights include rock pools, fed by the Likhubula River. Two of the most spectacular pools, Dziwe La Nkhlamba and Likhubula are close to the lodge. For those looking for a more challenging hiking experience, we can assist in arranging local guides and porters for longer day/ overnight hikes up the mountain to the numerous peaks.

Other Activities

Also close to Likhubula Forest Lodge are a number of tea & coffee estates which provide a beautiful foreground to the mountain. It is possible to take short drives and walks along the road to enjoy the picturesque scenery. A short 20 minute drive away is the town of Mulanje where guests can visit the local market and businesses.
