An unfenced lodge regularly visited by wildlife
A tranquil haven in Malawi's only 'Big 5' game reserve with wildlife viewing from your very own private veranda
Sunbird Thawale Lodge is located in Chikawawa within Majete Nature Reserve, next to a floodlit watering hole which attracts a variety of wildlife including hippos and elephants. Blantyre, a significant nearby town, is a one-hour drive away from the lodge. Interestingly, Majete is the only place in Malawi to spot the big five all year round.
The lodge consists of six double and twin tented chalets. All rooms are equipped with their own private veranda, an en-suite bathroom and fans to keep you cool. Sunbird Thawale Lodge has recently built a new family chalet which can sleep up to six people. Therefore, the whole family can enjoy spending time together and make memories spotting wildlife. Whilst you are eating your meal in the thatched restaurant, keep your eyes peeled for the brightly-coloured plumage of exotic birds. In the heart of the lodge is a communal lounge area complete with a barbecue.
During your stay at Sunbird Thawale Lodge there are endless opportunities to spot game on a Majete Wildlife Safari, from impressive predators down to their prey. Recently the reserve has reintroduced 13 species back into the area such as the Black Rhino, Leopard and Sable antelope. After a busy day watching game, relax in the lodge’s gardens and take a dip in the outside pool.

Our Difference
The Far & Wild Community...
We think that the best people to talk about an experience are those directly linked to it. Our website and brochures let the ‘real experts’ show their stuff… local experts, travellers & industry insiders. Look out for the coloured markers all around the site... they mean that you are reading something contributed directly by a person from one of these different parts of the community we are part of.
The best memories aren’t simply places and hotels, they are made up of experiences and people… so we connect with local communities, and strive for sustainable travel to make your holiday special
