A harbor town tucked into forested coves on Lake Malawi's northern shore, long a magnet for backpackers breaking the journey between Tanzania and Zambia. Lodges built into the hillside offer swimming decks, snorkeling, and kayak rental straight off the rocks. The weekly ferry to Likoma Island departs from its busy jetty.
