Get Fit with Your Family on Lake Malawi at Kaya Mawa Lodge
Rates start at $460 per person per night, but eight people stay for the price of seven. And for groups, there are special rates on Ulendo Airlink flights to Kaya Mawa.

The resort recently started offering Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), perfect for guests looking to increase balance and flexibility while getting a serious workout. For those who are unfamiliar with the sport, googling it results in images of ultra-fit celebs like Jennifer Aniston, Cameron Diaz, and Alesandra Ambrosio showing off their toned physiques. Come to Kaya Mawa and check out the new craze yourself!

For those in search of family bonding, Ndomo House provides rustic opulence for the whole family. The house has four en suite bedrooms, a sitting room, family kitchen, pool, courtyard, five terraces, and decks with sublime views of Lake Malawi. Separated from the rest of the resort, Ndomo House offers privacy and elegance. It's fully staffed, so let the nanny, cook, groundskeepers, and watchmen take away all of the stress and worry, so you and your family can enjoy themselves and soak in their surroundings.

Even though Ndomo House is secluded, it's only six-tenths of a mile from the rest of the resort. Guests may participate in Kaya Mawa's myriad activities. In addition to paddleboarding, guests can go snorkeling, scuba diving, waterskiing, or kite surfing on jaw-droppingly gorgeous Lake Malawi. Kaya Mawa is the only place on Lake Malawi, or any African lake for that matter, that offers kite surfing. Football and bicycle and quad bike rentals offer ample opportunities for classic family fun and competition.

For travelers in search of an authentic experience, Kaya Mawa offers many opportunities to connect with the local culture. Soak up the community flavor by attending dance competitions between local teams during Malapega season, or take a stroll to nearby Mbamba and visit the stunning St. Peter's Cathedral. To bring home a truly exclusive souvenir, take a quick jaunt to the Katundu Textile Workshop and shop spectacular bed and table linens embroidered with beads, seeds, and shells.

A stay in Ndomo House at Kaya Mawa in beautiful Malawi will certainly up the ante on the traditional family beach vacation.
