A cosy pine lodge in the highland hills of Malawi's Nyika Plateau
Chelinda Lodge in northern Malawi's Nyika National Park offers a one-of-a-kind African safari. The lodge sits 2300 metres above sea level (or 7590 feet), backs on to a large pine plantation and overlooks rolling grasslands dotted with herds of zebra, eland and roan. The landscapes are simply breathtaking. The lodge is run by Central African Wilderness Safaris (CAWS), a subsidiary, though now independent, of Wilderness Safaris, focused on high quality ecotourism in Malawi. Because of its altitude, temperatures can get chilly, though there's bound to be a log fire burning to keep you warm.

Basic, cosy lodging in the remote highlands of Malawi's Nyika Plateau.
Chelinda Camp in northern Malawi's Nyika National Park offers a safari with a difference. The camp sits 2300 metres above sea level, next to a large pine plantation and a trout dam with rolling grasslands beyond. The old, colonial Chelinda Camp is about a half a mile down the road from Chelinda Lodge, and is the substantially more basic of the two, with self-catering options available. Enjoy the plateau's enchanting landscapes, reminiscent in many ways of the Scottish Highlands. Temperatures can get chilly, though the log fires and friendly hospitality are bound to keep you warm.
