Nkwichi Lodge review

Apart from the transfer (detailed in the Kaya Mawa details), our stay was exceptional. The staff were so helpful and our trips out (including one to the farm project were interesting and the effort that they are putting in to the Manda Conservation project is amazing - the team are so passionate about it.

The site is stunningly beautiful with a great beach. Our room was amazing with birds, vervet monkeys and baboons visting the Merula tree above our lodge at daybreak - perfect start to the day, along with the coffee delivered at the same time! And the sand really does squeak when you walk on it! The choir visit on the beach on the last evening was magic!

One thought - Nkwichi is more like a safri lodge in style than Kaya Mawa, which is slightly more "sophisticated". It would appear more logical to visit Nkwichi first and then move to Kaya Mawa at the end of the holiday.

Was this paradise or just a dream

Nkwichi is an extraordinary place - and will long be so as long as it remains a hassle to get to! The journey is not for the faint hearted or for those who want things to happen quickly. Once you have found the right immigration officers and received the appropriate stamps, and chugged up the Mozambican coastline, you cannot imagine what a wonderful place this is to arrive at.

Shari and Simon and Douglas and all the rest of the staff make it such a relaxed place to be. The way the rooms are sculpted into the landscape is amazing and none of us will ever forget Christmas night, having a drink on the beach, being entertained by the choir from the local church and lightning and fireflies providing the light show.

What makes the place even more special is the work that is going on with the local communities - the farm was really interesting and in three days it was difficult to tear oneself away from the beauty and calm in order to see some of the other Manda Wilderness projects. This may just be the perfect place.
