Likoma Island Malawi Tour 2016 - Travel Malawi Guide
The team finished off Malawi's 2016 country tour with Likoma Island. We traveled on the MV Ilala from Monkey-port. It was one lovely and adventurous tour we have ever had.
MV Ilala is a motor ship that has sailed on Lake Malawi since 1951. She is operated by Malawi Shipping Company (MSC) and based in Monkey Bay, Malawi (on the southern end of the lake).
Every week she crosses the lake all the way north to Chilumba, Malawi, near Tanzania (about 300 miles (480 km) from Monkey Bay) and then returns to Monkey Bay. She carries both passengers and freight, and calls at major towns on both the Malawian and Mozambican coast, as well as at the two inhabited islands of the lake (Likoma and Chizumulu).
Though old, she remains the most important means of long-distance transport for the people living on the coast of the lake. She is 172 feet (52 m) long overall, has a gross tonnage of 620 tons and can accommodate up to 365 passengers and 100 tons of cargo

During our tour we stayed at beautiful Ulisa Bay Lodge. This is one lovely area. Full of life, friendly staff, delicious food and amazing company. The Ulisa fishing area is also close by where we had a chance to learn, interact and know a lot more about life on the island from the locals.
Ulisa Bay Lodge is a sanctuary for the explorers of the world. The lodge itself is a collection of chalets set around Ulisa Bay, all with stunning views over the lake and arguably one of the best sunsets in Africa.

While we were on the island we also visited Mango drift, with one long beautiful white sand beach. Mango Drift is a backpacker’s lodge located on the west side of Likoma Island on the beautiful waters of Lake Malawi.

We could not visit the island without going to see the historical and famous St Peter's Cathedral. The third largest cathedral in Central Africa! Built in 1903, dedicated in September 1905 and was consecrated in 1911 on an upland site.
This was one amazing tour we had and we would recommend you to try it whenever you visit Malawi or planning a holiday locally.

Mzuzu Youth Choir 1
On June 26, 2007 the Mzuzu Youth Choir from Mzuzu, Malawi came to the 1st Presbyterian Church on the Park in Canton, NY for the first stop on their tour in America. A truly fantastic choir, and a wonderful group of people. My family had the privilege of hosting two young men over night; it was an inspiring experience that I will remember for the rest of my life.
