Each chalet has its own deck overlooking Lake Malawi and is built using sustainably sourced materials, the accommodations offer rustic charm without sacrificing comfort, and each unit has an open air ensuite, eco-friendly composting toilet and solar lighting. With no electricity on the island, Mumbo Island embraces a true unplugged experience, inviting guests to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with nature.
