About Ngala Beach Lodge

Ngala Beach Lodge was first opened in the early 1980’s and was formerly known as “Heidi’s Hideout” The Lodge comprises of a large, thatched restaurant, bar and lounge area with beautiful views across the lake towards the Vipya mountain range.  Nestled within the expansive gardens we have 8 chalets overlooking the swimming pool towards the lake and mountain range in the distance, in addition we have 3 lake facing chalets in close proximity to the beach front with commanding views over lake Malawi, on a clear day its sometimes possible to see Mozambique in the distance. We have a beautiful grass campsite with large shady mature trees sitting directly adjacent to the expansive sandy beach front.  The mature gardens and trees offer a real haven for wildlife with over 143 species of bird spotted.

Community Projects / Malawi-Hilfe Schwindegg e.V.

We work closely with our chosen NGO Malawi-Hilfe Schwindegg e.V, first initiated in 2009 by Mr. Konrad Ess a guest traveling through Africa that fell in love with Malawi and wanted to make a difference to its warm hearted and friendly people. We support the organization with administration, project management and direct connections with our local community. The organization has made a huge impact to the local community with sustainable improvements primarily focused on education and healthcare. We would be pleased to provide guests with information or even a visit to see Malawi Hilfe projects.
