About us

Mgoza Lodge is centrally located within Cape Maclear on the shores of Lake Malawi, with the beach just a few steps away from your door.  You can relax in our shaded gardens, sit in the pool or lie in the sun.


The choice is yours as you look out over the lake. Our restaurant offers a variety of  great food and in our bar you will find a wide range of local and imported drinks.
 


Mgoza Lodge offers different types of quality accommodation to suit all budgets, from A-frame thatched dorms and huts to uniquely decorated en-suite chalets with an African feeling. The design of the lodge and its amenities were inspired by many travelling experiences trying to make the guests' stay as comfortable as possible. 

The spacious rooms all have extra large double beds and flowing mosquito nets. The garden and swimming pool offer a fantastic view of the lake and a glimpse of the daily village life. 


Boat trip to Thumbi Island and Otters Point
Enjoy snorkelling, feeding the fish eagles and a beach barbeque.
The chichlids of Lake Malawi are the main reason Lake Malawi National Park was created and the reason for Unesco declaring Cape Maclear a Natural World Heritage site. Together with the outstanding natural beauty this is what makes Cape Maclear so special. Boat trips are organised through the Cape Maclear Tour Guide Association.
