Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Chilumba?
The best area to stay in Chilumba is along the lakeshore, particularly near the main ferry terminal and market area.

This lakeside strip is the most developed part of Chilumba, offering convenient access to Lake Malawi. You'll find guesthouses and lodges dotted along the shore, many with direct lake access and views of the water. The area around the ferry terminal is also where local shops and eateries are concentrated.

For travelers seeking convenience and accessibility to local life, staying near the ferry terminal is ideal. It provides easy connections for those arriving or departing by ferry, and the nearby market offers a glimpse into daily activities and local goods. It's a practical choice for those who want to experience the local environment directly.

Couples looking for a relaxing lakeside retreat will appreciate the accommodations slightly further from the immediate ferry bustle but still along the shore.
When is the best time to go to Chilumba?
The best time to visit Chilumba is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.

During these months, you'll experience sunny days and comfortable temperatures, making it ideal for exploring the lake and surrounding areas. The water levels of Lake Malawi are generally lower and clearer, great for swimming, snorkeling, and boat trips. This period also offers excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing, as animals tend to congregate around water sources.

For travelers looking for a relaxing lakeside experience, this dry season provides stable weather conditions that allow for uninterrupted enjoyment of Chilumba's natural beauty.
