A visit to the Soul Rebel Lodge in Nkhata Bay was an extraordinary experience. Its location directly on Lake Malawi offers spectacular views of both land and water. In addition to providing fascinating insights into the flora and fauna for Europeans, the easy accessibility of the nearby village also allows for exciting interactions with the locals and their culture and joie de vivre. The food at the Soul Rebel Lodge is phenomenally good; Guax, the chef, served us the best guacamole in the world, made from fresh, local ingredients. Occasional power outages, which in principle only made the trip more exciting, are compensated for by the operator thanks to a solar system. The water supply was impeccable, but you shouldn't drink the lake water. However, there is a sufficient selection and availability at the lodge bar. All of the staff, without exception, did a fantastic job and made our stay as enjoyable as possible. Great tours are also offered directly on site, which took us out onto the lake and into the surrounding area. The Soul Rebel Lodge is also an excellent base for longer excursions. We enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back.

Great location (on the lake). Amazingly friendly catering staff; went completely off-menu to source and prepare authentic "local" vegetarian food for me; and kept doing it for the whole week. Super helpful operations team were always willing to try to fix problems as they occurred (eg. bad wifi); can't blame them for others' mistakes!

Best affordable place in Nkhata Bay to relax. Dorms have lake view and you fall asleep listening to lapping waves. Everyone is so friendly. Beautiful open shower adds to the experience. No problems checking in if you arrive at 9-10pm with Kwezy Bus.
