Perched high on the rolling hills of Malawi's Nyika Plateau, Chelinda Lodge offers a unique blend of alpine charm and African wilderness.
Its eight log cabins, constructed from local timber and stone, provide a cosy retreat with private fireplaces, spacious en-suite bathrooms, and balconies that open up to panoramic vistas of the montane grasslands.
The lodge's main area features a large deck - perfect for soaking in the expansive views - and a comfortable lounge equipped with an extensive library, inviting guests to unwind after a day of exploration.
At an elevation of approximately 2,300 meters, Chelinda Lodge is enveloped by a landscape reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands, yet distinctly African. Embark on guided hikes, game drives, and mountain biking adventures across the plateau, encountering wildlife such as zebra, eland, and the elusive leopard.
Evenings at the lodge are marked by the crisp, cool climate of the highlands, where guests gather around crackling fires, sharing stories and savouring the tranquillity of this secluded haven.
