Likoma Island - Malawi Travel
LIKOMA ISLAND, MALAWI
OVERVIEW
Likoma Island is one of those places where you know you are somewhere truly special from the moment your chartered plane touches down on the island's tiny airstrip. It's the kind of place that you see in some credit card commercial and think, where in the world is that? Likoma Island is tiny island sitting in one of the largest fresh water lakes in the world. The lake is superbly clean and calm, ranging in color from bright turquoise in the shallows to rich blues in the deep. Likoma Island has it all… pristine white endless beaches, calm clear translucent water, untouched reefs full of aquatic life, beautiful weather, a warm and friendly local vibe and the perfect resort to kick back and relax in barefoot luxury at the end of an active trip.
