Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Matema?
The best area to stay in Matema is directly along the shores of Lake Malawi, particularly around the main Matema Beach area.

This neighbourhood is the heart of Matema's visitor experience. It's a relatively compact strip along the lake, with accommodations, local craft stalls, and eateries dotted along the beach road and slightly inland. The main landmark is Matema Beach itself, known for its dark sand and clear waters. This area provides direct access to the lake for swimming and boat trips.

For couples seeking a relaxing retreat, staying right on Matema Beach is ideal. You'll find accommodations with direct lake views and easy access to sunset cruises or simply unwinding by the water. The pace here is unhurried, great for quality time together.

Families will also find Matema Beach a good fit. The calm waters of Lake Malawi are suitable for children to swim and play, and many accommodations offer spacious grounds.
When is the best time to go to Matema?
The best time to visit Matema is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.

During these months, you'll experience pleasant, sunny weather with minimal rainfall, making it ideal for enjoying Lake Malawi's clear waters and the surrounding landscapes. The temperatures are comfortable, typically ranging from the mid-20s to low-30s Celsius, great for outdoor activities. This period is particularly good for those looking to relax on the beach, swim, or take boat trips on the lake.

For travellers interested in hiking or exploring the nearby Livingstone Mountains, the dry season offers the most accessible trails and the clearest views. The paths are less muddy, and the air is generally less humid, making for a more enjoyable trek.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
