We have 2 kids, and they love to walk around the lodge property, play with the lodge dogs and throw frisbees in the large yard. And now there will be a pool for lodge guests! Guy and Maureen are so friendly, so open, and so accommodating. The staff are wonderful. It is a great way to leave the city behind.

I am involved in Malawi's tourism industry and often find myself staying in Lilongwe for a night or two. Kumbali is a breath of fresh air after a long days shopping and traffic! Situated far enough out of town to give you the feeling of isolation yet still close enough to be convenient, Kumbali strikes the balance very well and... More

It was the first time that I've visited Lilongwe, and therefore the first time I've stayed at the Lodge. The surroundings are beautiful, the food is fantastic and the rooms stunning! The next time I'm in Malawi, I will defiantly stay at the Lodge again! Thank you to Guy and Maureen for their hospitality.

I tend to be nervous when I think of country properites but this one did not disappoint. It was a 20 minute drive from the airport by hotel shuttle. There are 16 rooms here and although I roomed with the owners due to overbooking I was able to inspect the hotel in detail. It has nice grounds and multiple buildings.... More

After 2 weeks in Malawi, we wanted to indulge ourselves with a beautiful lodge and we were not disappointed. The room have been refurbished not a long time ago so everything is exquisite, from the main house, the terrasse for breakfast, the beautiful garden, and of course the bedrooms. Bedrooms are large, with private patio, and a view on the... More

Probably the best place we stayed in three weeks travelling all over Malawi. Great, spacious, comfortable rooms. Good food, lovely setting, exceptional staff and owners who are hands-on and clearly care about their customers, their staff and their business. Only 10-15 minutes from New/Old Town on empty roads and well worth the journey. No pool but you won't miss it.... More

Please stay at Kumbali Lodge! It's set in a beautiful and tranquil environment, the food is delicious and the rooms lovely, comfortable and quiet. All vegetables are organically grown and a permaculture centre has been established. In addition, dairy products are processed on the farm. A kindergarten for the local children has just been set up and if you're interested... More
