Tongole is a fairly new luxury lodge in Malawi's Nkhotakota Game Reserve
It has only four spacious chalets overlooking the Bua River.
Each room has a large double bed...
...and an open-plan bathroom with a a shower,
…an oval bath in front of the window...
and locally made marble wash basins.
Toiletries are supplied...
as well as bath robes and slippers.
All rooms are open to the outside, with ornate iron shutters leading to ...
…a wooden deck where you can sit and enjoy the view.
Follow sandy paths to Tongole Lodge's large, thatched main building…
…where you'll find a curio shop at the back…
…with safari clothing and some locally made curios for sale.
Upstairs, in the apex of the roof, is another comfortable seating area.
Downstairs are other seating areas...
…for instance in front of the little bar,…
...or on a lower deck closer to the river.
Meals can be taken either inside or outside at Tongole…
…and were tasty and wholesome during our last visit.
Enjoy an afternoon walk in the reserve ending with sundowners on the river.
The campfire is a good spot to meet other guests before dinner and chat about the days events...
…and enjoy the sunset.
