Cape Maclear with Travel Malawi Guide

Cape Maclear is one of the best known holiday destinations on the lake located on the southern shore of Lake Malawi in Traditional Authority Nankumba 18km North of Monkey bay. It is a popular hot location with the cleanest beaches on Lake Malawi with its deep and crystal waters that boast a beautiful fish sanctuary and a delight to divers. This is also where the first freshwater national park and a world heritage site, Lake Malawi National Park is.
The name Cape Maclear was given by Dr. David Livingstone in dedication to his friend an Astronomer, Sir Thomas Maclear in 1861 who was Her Majesty's Astronomer at the Cape of Good Hope.
In 1980 Cape Maclear and its islands, forests and bay were declared a protected area, creating the Lake Malawi National Park. It is the first freshwater national park in the world. In 1984, the area became a UNESCO World Heritage site.
It is undoubtedly one of those areas on our Lake Malawi where you are able to enjoy a relaxed lakeside living: wander straight out of your suite and onto the beach, laze in a hammock with a good book, swim in gin-clear water, sun bask on the golden sand beaches, take trips to the surrounding villages and learn the cultures and dine on deliciously prepared fresh fish off the boats of the local fishermen.
