Mgoza exceeded my expectations! The staff were unbelievably friendly and helpful, the views overlooking the lake is breathtaking and the food is great. Amazing value for money! We slept really comfortably and the fan in the room was a life saver. It was really hot during our stay, but the lodge is located under big trees which made the chill / restaurant area nice and cool. Would highly recommend when visiting Cape Maclear

Location is superb, right on the shore of Lake Malawi. Dinner had to be pre-ordered but consisted of a buffet of some delicious curries. Drink prices are very reasonable, our room was clean and comfortable, and the staff helpful and friendly. There are locals offering boat trips. If you are into birds, get one to take you out to see and feed the fish eagles. Preferably at sunset. Magic!
