On the Water

The lake is best experienced up close.

Lake Malawi has always been central to life at Red Zebra, and there's no better way to appreciate its beauty than spending time on the water.

Sundowners aboard the Lady Louise

Join us aboard the Lady Louise for a trip toward Namalenge Island, where birdlife, remarkable lake scenery and the changing colours of the afternoon make for a memorable experience.

Watch for fish eagles, enjoy the lake breeze and discover the underwater world of Lake Malawi's cichlids while snorkeling in suitable conditions.

With room for up to 20 passengers, the Lady Louise operates with a qualified skipper and crew, life jackets and first aid equipment on board.
