Guest Reviews

  • I was really pleasantly surprised by Nyala Lodge. The drive is easy from Blantyre, we were made to feel very welcome and nothing we asked for was too much trouble. We booked at the last minute, but everything was well organised.

  • Nyala Lodge is an ideal gateway as there is little tourist infrastructure lower down the river valley. We also enjoyed a drive around Lengwe Park itself and watching the birds and animals at the water hole in front of the lodge.

  • Nyala lodge is magical. We spent some beautiful days there. Peaceful and so African bush!
