I cannot recommend Kumbali Country Lodge enough! From the moment I arrived, I felt like I had stepped into a peaceful garden sanctuary. The lodge is set on a beautiful working farm, with a game conservation program which gives it a unique, rustic-chic charm that you just won't find in a standard city hotel.
The suite was spacious, well decorated and extremely clean. The lodge staff went out of their way to make me feel very welcome. The onsite restaurant had a varied menu and the food was excellent. Overall, it was an excellent experience and I wish that I could have stayed longer.

I have been to a lot of hotels in Lilongwe over the years and this is hands down the best. Located in a quiet 600 hectares park with its own gamereseve, but only 15 mins from anywhere downtown, it’s a quiet, beautiful, reliable place. There is a vey nice garden with paths, a castle (!), a great restaurant and a beautiful swimming pool. The bungalow/rooms are spacious and have a feel of authenticity. This is the place to go

I can't say enough about this superb hotel.
Located out of town in a completely tranquil location, providing a perfect night's sleep.
Food in the restaurant was consistently delicious over our four night stay, with local produce from the farm presented inventively., and a fully stocked bar! But the real asset is the staff - all of whom could not do enough for us. Thank you so much.

Stayed for 5 nights. Our experience was excellent. The staff and service were great (and upgraded us to a larger room after an incident with ants), the food was also great (try the chocolate pudding!), and nature is easily accessible throughout the property. The only minor downside is the rough road leading up to the lodge. Though most roads in remote villages of Malawi are nowhere near as bad, it just became time-consuming to enter and exit the property. Altogether a 5/5

Th setting is beautiful. The monkeys greeted us several times. The pool was clean. The bathroom in our room was beautiful. Breakfast choices were fantastic and tasty.
The smell of mold in our arrival was overwhelming. We asked for the aircon to help dry the air and remove the smell but it was broken. We were promised that it would be fixed the same day. It was not fixed. That night it rained and the roof leaked several places, hence the mold and therefore the smell. Another room was never offered even though we mentioned something right away about the smell.

Having to travel to Lilongwe for business I looked for a hotel with superior service and comfort and am pleased to say Kumbali hit the mark. The staff were extremely polite and responsive to requests. They were proactive in every manner. The managers took the time to address me by my name. The rooms were very large and comfortable. We took advantage of the airport transport and used their car service a few times, which was timely and safe. The food service was also good. Best of all while this would be a great place for a vacation, as I was on business the WiFi service was perfect. Fast and reliable.

I enjoyed my stay tremendously. Everyone one exceptionally kind and helpful. The bed was beautifully comfortable and I relaxed in the large the bathtub. My room was too close to the car park and noise was a little much, although there are many other rooms that are further away.
The grounds were a treat to experience and the restaurant had the best home made yogurt, feta and coffee. The organic vegetable are worth the trip all the way from California.

Kumbali Lodge is a true retreat in Malawi, the warm heart of Africa. It's about a 30-40 minute drive from the airport (with traffic), and part of the drive traverses a traditional village over a bumpy dirt road. The lodge is situated on 200 acres of some of the most beautiful land in Malawi; very private and serene. Individual rooms are attached, but interiors resemble chalets with high ceilings and thatched roofs. Fans in every room. Electricity and water are reliable; something I've never expected or found in other lodging in Malawi.
The food is a real treat. We looked forward to dinner every night. Dinners run $25 for a 3-course meal, and it's worth every penny. Breakfast is included, and is cooked to order or you can choose from the buffet. Don't miss the yoghurt, which is made from their on-site dairy farm.
The team at Malawi went above and beyond to make sure that our group of 7 had everything that we needed. Tipping is done at the end of your stay so that everyone can be rewarded (including groundskeepers, etc.) . We tipped heavily because the service was - truly - exceptional.
