Kumbali Country Lodge

Nestled inside a 650-hectare forest reserve and banana farm just outside Lilongwe, Kumbali Country Lodge feels miles from city stress. About a 10-minute drive from the city center and roughly 30 minutes from Lilongwe International Airport, the lodge is near Parliament Building and Kamuzu Mausoleum—perfect for nature lovers and city sightseers.

Thatched, rustic rooms with private entrances and en‑suite bathrooms set a relaxed, country vibe. Queen beds under mosquito nets sit on memory-foam mattresses with Egyptian-cotton sheets. Rooms (16 total) offer private furnished balconies or patios, air conditioning, LCD TVs, satellite channels, coffee/tea makers and complimentary Wi‑Fi.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, wander garden paths and nature trails, or join guided birdwatching and tours of the 30-hectare banana farm. There’s a fitness center, bar/lounge, tour desk, concierge, laundry and on-site medical assistance. Shuttle/airport transfers are available (surcharge) and free self-parking is onsite. Family-friendly touches include a kids’ playroom and babysitting (surcharge). Wake up to bird-song mornings.

A business center and a 323 sq ft conference space with two meeting rooms accommodate small events. Complimentary wireless internet, luggage storage and a 24-hour airport shuttle (surcharge) support seamless logistics.
