The Hands Behind It

Established by Andrew Bita, the lodge is a reflection of his deep connection to Malawi. His hands-on approach ensures an experience that feels less like a hotel, and more like home.

Every detail — from the locally sourced materials to the names of our rooms — is a tribute to the Malawian landscape and its people.

Where luxury meets wilderness. Creating unforgettable experiences since 2009.
