The Mushroom Farm Campsite
High up on the plateau with spectacular views, they are within easy reach of Livingstonia and Manchewe Falls. Awesome is an overused word, but feel free to use it to describe the views of Lake Malawi 650m below this cliff-top lodge set in the middle of a forest. They don’t actually farm anything here, although chef Mick admits that most of what he cooks is home-grown.

Getting there From Chitimba, turn onto Livingstonia Road. 10km. It’s halfway between Mzuzu and Tanzania. Or call for a pickup.

In some areas they may be the only bus service and are unlikely to have a strict timetable. (Not Set / NA,Not set / NA) This Mozambiquan backpackers is set upon a magnificent lagoon.
