Katawa Cottage on Lake Malawi

Ideally situated in the serene Madzedze Bay, as you drive into Monkey Bay from Golomoti, you’ll discover Katawa Cottage, a new four-roomed accommodation unit in the Lake Malawi district of Mangochi. This charming Lake Malawi cottage immediately invites a sense of peaceful escape.

In September 2021, just before its official opening, I was asked to capture the beauty of the units for their social media promotion efforts.
