Club Makokola, Malawi is the perfect place to base oneself and go out on excursions to explore the life and culture of the people of Malawi. The many villages, little rural towns and historic missions in the vicinity of the Hotel are ideal for excursions. Club Makokola is also the perfect place to relax and to enjoy all the facilities that the resort has to offer.
It is set in ten acres of immaculate gardens, with a fantastic shorefront. Club Makokola is a large resort style hotel offering a large variety of activities. The hotel has two swimming pools, a squash court, two tennis courts and a mini soccer field. The Mlambe Golf Club - a 9-hole, par 3 course, is beautifully positioned adjacent to the hotel in a grove of Baobab trees with spectacular water hazards to provide both experienced and amateur golfers with a challenging and enjoyable course.
The hotel has its own airstrip and to fly from Lilongwe will take 45 minutes.
The M.V. Sunbird is a 22 meter “cruiser” boat which Club Makokola uses for trips on the lake. Equipped with bar, kitchen, sundeck and toilets the boat can accommodate 20 passengers for a day cruises or can sleep up to 8. If more want to sleep they can sleep on deck and staff will hang mosquito nets.
Travelling between Mvuu and Club Makokola on the Sunbird is a great experience. Sailing to Mvuu Camp in Liwonde National Park takes around 6 hours. Lunch is included and there is a cash bar. The journey takes you down through the southern arm of the Lake Malawi into the Shire River past the historical village of Mangochi, through Lake Malombe and on to the National Park. The upper sundeck provides an excellent opportunity for game viewing over the reed banks into the park.

The bathrooms are divided into three areas, one for the two vanity basins, one for the toilet and one for the shower and bathtub. Each suite has its own veranda with breath taking views over the lake. All the suites are set in a beautiful corner of the hotel's gardens.
The rooms are furnished in the same style as the suites and have large bathrooms with double vanity basin, bathtub and separate shower. All rooms have a private veranda with views of the lake. Some of the rooms are family rooms, conveniently situated next to the hotel pool and bar/restaurant.
