AfricaWildTruck Eco Camp & Lodge

room was spacious and clean. Staffs were really nice and after dinner, they brought some snacks and coffee/tea for us. beds have mosquito nets. and in shower we could use hot water. Food was really good and we asked four of Mulanje mountain. It was really nice experience. This accommodation is in the forest, so there are many insects, cockroaches and flogs even in the room. and it was okay for us but we can’t use water after 10pm until 4am.

I really enjoyed my staff at Africa Wild Truck. It is definitely off the beaten path. With that said, the surrounding tea fields and setting are lovely. The staff couldn't have been friendlier and helpful planning my time. I thought it was a little closer to hiking trails; my fault, not theirs. Centipedes :).

Character old lodge with beautiful mountain views and great food. Good value for money. Booked room not available at check-in but the upgraded apartment was very nice and quiet.

Wonderful location right in amongst the tea plantations that one could wander through at leisure and meet the friendly locals from the nearby village. Beautiful views of Mulanje Mountain from the secluded well-kept garden. Loved the pool for a refreshing dip after the long drive from the south. Really comfortable bed and pillows in a spacious bedroom. Friendly welcome and introductory tour by the manager. Very pleasant to be able to eat outside in the garden and read on the shaded veranda. The shower was excellent quality but if the cubicle had been tiled it may have given a better impression. The evening meal for 26$ was somewhat disappointing but perhaps we just caught a bad night as it was almost rainy season.

It was close to the Mozambique border. Relaxed, informal atmosphere. Restaurant meals were large. Restaurant was expensive. The name was a bit deceptive and the website inferred it was busier than it was and that it is a centre for backpackers.

It’s located next to a very nice tea plantation that you can walk in. the hotel is an old historical house with very big rooms. they set a fireplace in my room which was very nice. staff was very friendly and they helped me organize a hiking tour the place is not well managed. I got an email with rates for meals and then got another email with significantly higher rates, which made no sense. I contacted them and they said because of inflation and what so not. in my country they would have had to respect the original rates. but they said it was fresh Italian recipes so I had high expectations. the food was awful, cold pasta with pesto no flavor and a salad with no dressing. new dinner prices cost same as the room so I skipped it. wifi was not working. they also put on booking they accept MasterCard and then they said no but they do so don’t be confused by this error of theirs

Beautiful garden area, small playground and pool for the kids and amazing view. Food is spectacular. Bathroom is a little tight and beds are on the small side

Wonderful lodge in the tea plantation. Very serene. Ok but very pricey food. It's not value for money Nothing except the plantation. You basically have to eat at the lodge.

Its very well situated for climbing Mount Mulanje which we hoped to do: unfortunately our arrival coincided with two days of continuous rain. Our accommodation in an old library was exceedingly spacious, clean and comfortable and included a kitchen. The two evening meals we had were both Italian themed and of excellent quality, which to be honest, was to be expected considering what was being charged for them. Although our accommodation included a kitchen, it contained no cooking utensils, crockery or cutlery. Rather pointless really. We had enjoyed our stay, but settling our bill left an extremely sour taste. We had been drinking Malawi Gin in the evenings (where it was un-priced in what served as the bar) and anticipated paying a similar price to everywhere else we had stayed. We were horrified to find we were being charged $US 4 a shot. (It sells in Blantyre for $US 5.50 a bottle.) As I reluctantly payed our bill I expressed our strong feelings that we had been ripped off. Overall the stay was NOT good value for money

Rooms were nice and clean, food was delicious and great views of the mountain. The staff were also friendly and efficient. They made us a packed lunch for our hike which was great. Quite far from the start of hiking trails but worth it to have nice accommodation. Food is quite expensive but also the potion sizes are huge, we started sharing 1 dinner between 2 people and that was perfect.

Exceptional

The staff is very attentive and supportive. As it was raining and moisture in the room they offered to enlighten a fire. Nice colonial building surrounded by tea plantations. Mattresses worn - not acceptable when you pay 100 USD per night. Although we agreed the day before on a breakfast time as we had to leave at a fixed time we had to wait 30 minutes. Obviously nothing was communicated to the next shift. No water during the night, no electricity for hours. No problem if you would pay less.

Lovely place, lovely people, I had a lovely time

Very good

Lovely apartment. Lovely staff but breakfast service was very slow. The pizza however was outstanding. A few garden chairs in the grounds would have been lovely and some information offered as to the area. We didnt know for example that one can no longer drive around mount mulanje since the floods. But we would definitely gladly stay again.

Location and food Too plain

Not much Whatever you do DONT eat there they will charge u $120.00 usd for a simple serving of spaghetti and 6 meatballs !Rip off!
