Definitely the staff & owner who were so accommodating. The place turned out fantastic for our 2 weeks of stay. Morning was so peaceful and surreal as the Wilderbeests & Zebras wondering next to our table. Overall, it was the staff that made all the difference.

Rooms were comfortable and the communal areas great. A lovely front patio with a view of some wild animals. All the staff were helpfull and friendly. The guided walk early in the morning was wonderful and is a must.The food and breakfast was great. Just remember that Malawi is mostly vegetarian and the steak will probably not be what you are used to. The rooms were sprayed just before we arrived for mosquitos. If you are asthmatic, just remember to inform the hotel before you go, so that the room can be aired out.(If you want to visit Satemwa, remember to book ahead of time) .

I found Game Haven Lodge to be a very peaceful place. Even when the weather is hot, there is a lovely breeze about the the place. The location was convenient for me to explore Blantyre, Bvumbwe, Thyolo, Mulanje & Likhubula. Loved the game Drive. Weekends can be busy with locals which means you may have to wait longer for meals.

Unfortunately the lodge is well below global 4 star standards. The "suites" are really a bedroom and bathroom and only contain 1 chair and very small table with no fridge to store milk, water etc. Limited wardrobe space. .Dirty bathroom with rusty shower and taps reported to the owners. First meal in restaurant saw a piece of fish served still frozen and was even tried to charge for after returned. In fairness, the owner Greg, was most helpful when the faults were reported and tried to improve things but it was felt this would need considerable time and sustained effort to rectify This lodge is some way out of town so a car or taxi is a must. Hotel transport to and from the airport is expensive and charged by the person even if only one car used. Local taxis cheaper
