Njaya Lodge

Njaya Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Njaya Lodge is a little slice of paradise! We fell in love with this place as soon as we arrived. Nestled on the banks of Lake Malawi, surrounded by beautiful landscape and amazing locals, it’s the most relaxing place we have been to in Africa. The staff here go above and beyond with their service and always so friendly! I hope we make it back one day! ❤️"
