Njaya Lodge is situated on a hillside just outside the popular town of Nkhata Bay on the northern shores of Lake Malawi. The lodge grounds stretch down to the beautiful Chikale Beach, safe and clean and ideal for children.

Accommodation is in twelve beach bandas (à la Thailand) and four comfortable en-suite garden cottages, each sleeping four. A breezy bar and restaurant serves all meals, using local produce and herbs from the garden. There are two barbeques each week and an English roast dinner is served on Sunday!

Njaya has attracted a number of celebrities among its guests. From the music world, Andy Kershaw, Will Young and David Essex have all stayed at the lodge. There's a range of activities and possible off-site trips. Scuba diving with Aqua Africa (see above) and kayaking and horse riding can be organised as well as tours which include visits to Vwasa Game Reserve and the famous Livingstonia Mission. The mv Ilala calls at Nkhata Bay en route for Likoma.

Njaya is noted for its conformity to responsible tourism and its contributions to the local community.
