SKINNY HIPPOS LODGE

Located near the Namiasi fishery, 12 km northwest of Mangochi (access via a track off the M10), this establishment boasts simple but clean rooms, a friendly bar on the sandy beach and a swimming pool. Themed afternoons and evenings (traditional dance, disco, barbecue...) are organized regularly. The staff are very accommodating and helpful. It's a pleasant place to enjoy the beach, the pool and the little white-furred rabbits wandering around.
