The Zomba Plateau rises dramatically behind Malawi’s previous capital and is covered by lush forests and bubbling mountain streams. 
After our hiking on Mount Mulanje we opted for some serious R&R and decided to stay at the Ku Chawe trout farm on the plateau, the only trout farm in Malawi!
Unfortunately the previous owners had let the farm run down, including the small hotel and the camping area. With the new ownership things are changing and there are definite improvements already visible. New ablution blocks are being built, the hotel is to be renovated and a restaurant is to be set up. Even the two beautiful log cabins are to be reopened.
Here we spent five days enjoying the richness of the beautiful area around us. The farm has huge potential and we wish the new owners all the best of luck!
For any more info on the farm please contact us.
We are interested in the Ku Chawe trout farm, were there about 25 years ago and arranging another trip to Malawi in April 2015, can you send us contact details to find out if the accommodation has been renovated.
thanks Wendy
