A Malawian island enclave inside Mozambican waters, reached by the veteran ferry Ilala or light aircraft. Its outsized Anglican cathedral, built of local granite in the early 1900s, rivals European churches in scale. Baobab-studded hills, empty beaches, and a slow island rhythm reward those who make the crossing.
