Nkhotakota
A basic African town on the shores of Lake Malawi, Nkhotakota
has a traditional market and a few hotels and bars, but the main
attractions are in the surrounding areas. The Nkhotakota Wildlife
Reserve has hot springs and hippo pools, and the beaches of Lake
Malawi offer activities like kayaking, snorkelling and cruises. The
Kassasa Club has a golf course as well.
Nkhotakota played an important part in Malawi's history as the
place where David Livingstone met with slave traders in an attempt
to end the slave trade in Malawi, and knowledgeable guides conduct
walking tours of historical points of interest around
Nkhotakota.
