Day 37 – 39 Mumbo Island

Three whole days relaxing on the Mumbo Island – a tropical paradise. 


We walked, kayaked, swam and cruised around the island.  The swim around the island was about 3k and was beautiful if a little tiring as we had done so little exercise recently.  

The bird life was superb with loads of fish eagles, yellow-billed kites, pied kingfishers as well as bright yellow weaver birds, red breasted robin chats and loads of other birds.  We also watched an otter eat a fish just below our chalet before swimming off around the rocks.  




Snorkelling was excellent – Lake Malawi is famed for its cichlids and we got to see loads of different coloured ones around the rocks.  The island has to be the most chilled out place we have ever visited – it was absolutely amazing and it was great just to totally relax for a few days.
