Chembe Eagles Nest Activities

Frankly, doing as little as possible is the whole point of visiting Cape Maclear... time here passes very slowly!

But there are a variety of activities to take part in, should the need strike you.

Take a relaxing cruise on our Catamaran "Mama Afrika", while sipping on an ice cold gin and tonic, watching an exquisite sunset unfold before your eyes.

Cape Maclear also offers some of the best snorkelling there is to offer. With hundreds of brightly coloured "Mbuna" engulfing you in an aquarium of colour. These "butterflies of the lake" can even be viewed above the surface of the water.

After a relaxing snorkel, why not feed the African Fish Eagles on Domwe Island? There are many breeding pairs of these majestic birds on the islands, and never fail to impress with their sheer size and grace.

For the more energetic, Chembe also offers water skiing and tube riding, as well as kayaking for the kids.

For the avid scuba diver, diving can be arranged through Chembe, with discounts for larger groups.

Lake Malawi National Park makes for an interesting day excursion, and is a must for the bird enthusiast. Flanked by the National Park are the missionary graves to the north end of town.
