Rank : 8.5 (average on 2 votes)

Coordinates : -13.220255, 34.601840 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Real paradise for fish eagles, present much of all major species of African birds including king fisher, herons, etc. The fish fauna is the host including 500 endemic species of cichlids, colorful fish found mainly along the rocky shoreline. Visible to the shore even with the naked eye. Complete the picture of Nile crocodiles and hippos. Very interesting the inputs from the lake fishermen. They deal with fishing boats that look vaguely our fishing lights. Very nice the fish market every morning.

Recommended equipment : As it regards the reflex suggest the whole kit from wide-angle up to 200-300mm. For birdlife enthusiasts can go even further. For ospreys, I was fine with APS-C 70-200. Ability to capture the eagle while fishing. important note, to resume cichlids or photograph them, absolutely essential GoPro or similar.

Best months : mild climate all year round, but beware of the rainy season. Council the period from July to September, which corresponds to the winter, dry, warm, but not hot, skies and fabulous sunsets.

How to get there : From Italy with Ethiopian from Rome or Milan via Addis Ababa. The flight makes a stop in Blantyre and then continue to Lilongwe. There are also flights with Kenya Airways.

Visits : The whole coast of the lake is wonderful, I suggest visiting the nature reserve Cape Maclear inevitable and the most beautiful place on the lake that is Monkey Bay. Beautiful even Nkhotakota Bay in mid-lake about. While further north it marks Nkhata Bay.
