This was a really unique place to stay while on business in Lillongwe. It is a short drive from the city, but worth it to have a peacful and natural setting. The main lodge is lovely and has a nice porch for relaxing outdoors. The restaurant is quite good and the staff are attentive and friendly.

Our last night in Malawi we stayed at the Kumbali. We immediately started walking around to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and to take pictures. How beautiful it was. We also saw many monkeys. After a drink we enjoyed a delicious dinner. The next morning we were given a tour to the banana plantation. That was very fun and educational. Unfortunately we had to quickly move on to the airport. We would have liked to stay longer

We stayed here three times during August, using it as our home base for travelling in Malawi and Zambia. It's a luxurious lodge, with wonderful spaces. The food is excellent and the rooms spacious and well equipped. There are unusual features to visit on site; the Farmer's Daughter restaurant is just a few minutes walk away for an outing; and it's close enough to Lilongwe to head off (by car) into the city. And the city is vibrant, colourful and alive (the old part). The new capital part contains government buildings and memorials that are well worth visiting for the history of the country.

I stayed at Kumbali at the end of my trip and found it a delightful place to unwind after long road trips, and varied accommodation. It's a green oasis, with beautiful grounds. Rooms are large and well equipped with spacious terraces overlooking the gardens. There are many lovely birds to be seen, and the management plan to bring in a range of animals such as antelope later this year. Food at Kumbali is excellent, and staff are pleasant and helpful.

This is a very comfortable lodge where we were made very welcome for our first night in Malawi. It took about an hour to drive from the airport. The lodge is set in very attractive gardens with a small swimming pool. The WiFi worked well and the shower was good and hot. The lodge also has a restaurant which serves excellent food.

I stayed two nights at the Kumbali country lodge while waiting for family to arrive in Malawi. The location is excellent with a very peaceful and relaxing environment. Lots of small wildlife available for viewing. Excellent bar and restaurant. I enjoyed sitting at the bar and talking with Hamson. All of the staff were great.

I can’t say enough about this superb hotel. Located out of town in a completely tranquil location, providing a perfect night’s sleep. Food in the restaurant was consistently delicious over our four night stay, with local produce from the farm presented inventively., and a fully stocked bar! But the real asset is the staff - all of whom could not do enough for us. Thank you so much.

Nice room with balcony. Food was also wonderful in the restaurant with lovely massage service. However, we informed them that we are checking out at 5am the next day and have requested for some coffee and simple packed breakfast. The hotel agreed to the request, saying there is no issue to that but the next morning, the main reception door was locked with no one around in sight. We attempted to knock multiple times but no one came. We waited till 530am and had to leave for the airport- with no coffee or breakfast at all. Pretty disappointing.
