Makweti Safari Lodge
The owners originally built Makweti as a vacation house, but then decided to turn it into a safari lodge with a major commitment: to provide high luxury in raw nature, for a maximum of 10 guests. Secluded in the bush are five chalets, each with a viewing deck, fireplace, bathroom (with hot and cold running water), and frothy netting looped over the bed. Dinner is at tables set with feathers, nests, and local artifacts. The Malawian chef takes pan-African exotica, such as ostrich and crocodile, to epicurean levels, serving it with just-picked greens, native fruits, and estate wines. Forays to see raptors, bush babies, and white rhino are customized; many take place in response to the call of the hunting lion.

i have been there 3 times and hope to return again. i have been to many safari lodges but Makweti has it all. Dignified elegance, great food and wonderful viewing. it gives you the total Africa experience without feeling that you are in the inside looking out or that the animals are a mere distraction from resort living.
after staying at Makwtei you gain a new appreciation for the allure of Africa and the desire to go back.
