Senga Bay

Overview

Introduction

Senga Bay has a wide variety of accommodations, and beach and watersports activities, and is a very relaxing place to spend a few days (be aware of the danger of bilharzia, however). There is also a large curio market there where you will have to bargain hard over the famous Malawi chairs and other carvings. Nearby Lizard Island makes a nice day trip to see fish eagles and huge monitor lizards. A short walk out of town, waterbirds and hippos are regularly seen at the Mpatsanjoka dambo. An hour's drive away, the anthropological museum at the Mua Mission is among the best in the country. 50 mi/80 km east of Lilongwe.
