Maggie and Brian displayed a natural sense of hospitality and ensured that everything we had everything we needed during our stay. The whole experience ran smoothly and we were happy share it with them. They are very passionate and knowledgeable about horses. They displayed professionalism towards beginner and advanced riders and guided riders at their own pace. We absolutely loved the horse riding and the experience as a whole, and highly recommend this to anyone visiting Zomba or Luwawa. We stayed in a newly well built cottage in Luwawa, which is fully equipped and self catering. The views are jaw dropping and privacy is ensured. Make sure that you have all the food you need as there aren't any stores near by. It is 2 hours from Mzuzu and +- 4 hours from Lilongwe. This is a must in Malawi.

What a fantastic experience. My husband and I traveled to Malawi to visit Shire Eco Camp in December 2019. This place is amazing!! We stayed four beautiful days in a rustic style lodge. Our lodge was in the shape of a yurt that included a comfortable queen size bed, sink, shower, and toilet. The accommodations were charming. Now on to the meals. Rodrick, the chef, is incredibly talented and was very accommodating with all my dietary needs. I was a little concerned because I am a vegetarian, but Rodrick prevailed. During our stay, we went on a boat and safari tour and ended our evenings stargazing. McCloud, what will we do without you? McCloud was very attentive during our stay at the camp. He assisted with the boat tour, which was very relaxing. We saw elephants, hippopotamus, crocodiles and more. Billy Mphande, thank you, thank you for an amazing Safari tour. The most memorable moment was seeing the Sable Antelope, which is now my favorite animal. Thank you for a marvelous time at Eco Shire Camp.
