Nkwichi Lodge
Eco Lodge Accommodation Cobue, Niassa Province - Mozambique

Mix a heady cocktail of sumptuous yet ‘responsible’ tourism, grassroots practical help for the war-weary people of Mozambique and a last chance to protect a pristine corner of real Africa – and you have the Manda Wilderness Project.

Established in 1999 the Project forges an invincible bond between protecting one of Africa’s last true wildernesses, releasing an African community’s true potential, and boosting the standards of international tourism.

An essential part of the Manda Wilderness Project is Nkwichi Lodge; nestled in the emerald bush on the Mozambican side of Lake Malawi / Lake Niassa, it is the perfect hide away, a bare-foot luxury lodge that enables guest to enjoy the comforts of life while knowing that their stay is helping the surrounding people and environment.

Wild and remote, northern Mozambique is often referred to as the unexplored Africa. The Eastern Shores of the lake are sparsely populated with little outside access.

Nkwichi Lodge has successfully demarcated and protected an area of 650 hectares (4km of lake shore, 8 beaches) from poaching and fires. As a result zebra, warthog, kudu and otter are starting to return and can sometimes be seen around the lodge.

Additionally, a huge conservation area of 120,000 hectares (roughly the size of greater London) has been established under the name of the local communities; The Manda Wilderness Community Conservation Area (MWCCA) - covering an area between the lakeshore and the Messinge River, 40km to the east. The lakeshore and escarpment have dry land forests, while thinly wooded savannah and marsh land exists on the plateau. It is a pristine wilderness, with great potential for both wildlife and tourism – recent wildlife sightings in the reserve include wild dog, elephant, bushbuck, reedbuck, duiker, sable, hippo and leopard and lion.

Guests are welcome to visit and learn about various development projects initiated and supported by the lodge. These are partly financed by your stay at the lodge.

All the staff at the lodge are from the surrounding Nyanja Communities, they are warm, welcoming and exceptionally friendly. As a result of this and the project initiated by the lodge, an unprecedented relationship has been developed between the Lodge and the communities within a 60 km radius from the lodge.
