By April, as the rains subside, the crystal-clear waters reveal colorful rocky outcrops, inviting you to explore Lake Malawi’s aquatic habitats. In the dry season, the island offers clearer views, ideal for birdwatching and hiking its scenic nature trails.

Whether lush or dry, Nankoma Island is a spectacular and ever-changing natural escape.
