Cape Maclear
Cape Maclear (Chembe) is a small fishing village on Lake Malawi. It has one dirt road leading into town along which there are a few hostels, some dive shops, a couple of bars and a few vendors selling curios and fruit. The local fishermen live in the centre of the town and in order to get from Steven's Guest House, for example, to Fat Monkeys, you must go through the town; it's a great way to see how the average Malawian lives.Transport: Car rentals and bus services are available although roads are badly potholed.
Intrepid Travel is one of the world's leading suppliers of small
group adventures focused on getting off the beaten track and having
