Zikomo kwambiri! My friend and I had a wonderful time at Kande .. The scenery was masomphenya, with the beautiful Lake Malawi stretching as far as the eye could see. We enjoyed a delicious plate of nsima with chambo, fresh from the lake. The beach was clean and well-maintained, with friendly staff who made us feel welcome. We even took a boat ride on the lake, which was a thrilling experience. If you're looking for a relaxing spot to unwind, Kande Beach is the perfect place. We'll definitely be back! Rating: 5/5 stars
