King's Highway Rest Camp

What do clever peeps do upon arrival at King's Highway Rest Camp? They do what the site team sensibly recommends: pitch their tent/park their wheels as speedily as poss, kick off their shoes, and run down to the beach. Which should take them... all of a minute, as the camp is on the shores of lush Lake Malawi. All pitches come with lake views, all the better to wake up to spectacular sunrises (see pics) over the glistening water and to idle around in the afternoon to see the local fishermen arrive home with their haul... Campfires and barbecues are allowed: fish straight from the site to land your own catch, or make for the local market to buy fish caught that day. Amenities here are first-rate (again, see pics) and include toilets and hot showers as well as a covered outdoor washing-up area. Local town Chitimba is a kilometre's stroll away for supplies.
