Malawi's finest fare

Outstanding safari dining

A choice of continental or hot breakfast; a delicious lunch spread, afternoon tea and an indulgent four-course dinner!

Dining at Tongole

All of our fresh, food fare is prepared on site by our legendary chef and his team, using locally sourced ingredients where possible. Meals are enjoyed in four guest relaxation areas:

The main deck-slightly elevated, this is an ideal spot for eating a hearty breakfast at sun rise.

Chipata deck– a great alfresco lunch venue with sensational views of Chipata Mountain and the reserve.

Bua deck-overlooking the river, this is a great spot for afternoon tea and if you lucky, observing elephants by the river.

Kachenga deck–  a romantic setting to enjoy a private and indulgent four course dinner feast under the African star-canopy.
