Snorkelling in Malawi
Lake Malawi perfectly combines all the elements required for snorkelling, opening up a kaleidoscope of underwater worlds for an amazing experience.
Swimming with thousands of dazzlingly coloured fish, within arm’s reach, is one of the most popular activities in Lake Malawi and will become an unforgettable memory of your life.
Snorkelling involves adding a breathing pipe, called a snorkel, to your mouth, wearing goggles and fins and swimming in relatively shallow water.
Whether you’re not a good swimmer or a child, you can wear a life jacket and see many colourful fish just floating in the water.
Unlike scuba diving, snorkelling does not require a license.
Snorkelling can be enjoyed on any lakeshore and most lodges and hotels have equipment available for guests to use at affordable prices.
Lake Malawi has very little vegetation and organic matter, so the sandy and rocky tops of the lake bottom are exceptionally clear.
Snorkelling is possible all year round, but the best season is from August to December when the lake is particularly clear and the water temperature rises to nearly 30°C, making the lake very calm and perfect for snorkelling.
Float your body above the water, get lost in this crystal clear paradise and let all your worries go.
