An Oasis
in the bush

Ng'ona Lodge

Welcome To

Ng'ona Lodge

Ng’ona Lodge is an oasis in the African bush. It is in a tranquil environment on the banks of the Shire River which flows out of Lake Malawi, south to join the Zambezi River in Mozambique. The lodge is approximately 70 kilometres south west of Blantyre.

High Quality Accommodation

Enjoy the privacy of exclusive self contained chalets with shaded verandahs for ultimate relaxation. Our four chalets also include en-suite facilities. We also have a campsite with BBQ amenities.  

Our very own restaurant

Within Ng’ona Lodge, we also house our own restaurant in a large thatched open sided building, elevated from the pool and the river. We also have a well stocked bar for guests and day visitors.

Wildlife right on our doorstep

We are so perfectly placed that one of Malawi’s biggest and best game reserves is right on our doorstep. Guests can visit Majete Game Reserve, only one and a half kilometres away during their stay. We can arrange all your activities for you.

Giraffes are back
Reintroduced into Majete in 2018 by African Parks, discover them on your journey into the wild.
