Mabuya Camp is Lilongwe's premier backpackers lodge and campsite. Just 10 minutes walk from the town centre. Having been in existence for nearly a decade, this campsite and backpackers' haven used to be owned by Kiboko safaris. It’s now run by an English couple called Tom and Janey who, after travelling the continent for over a decade and visiting more than twenty-five African countries, decided to settle here in the “Warm Heart of Africa”.

The campsite is the perfect place to unwind after that long bus journey from Lusaka, or for picking up that safari tour around Malawi or to Zambia's South Luangwa National Park. We offer hot showers, cold beer, yummy food and a gorgeous swimming pool, what more do you need?

If you fancy hiking on the mighty Mount Mulanje or lounging on your own secluded island on the lake, Malawi is the country for you. There’s plenty of wildlife to see in one of Malawi’s many national parks. There’s plenty of wildlife to see under the water too, Malawi is one of the cheapest places to learn to dive in the world.
