It's characterised by a series of lodges and guesthouses interspersed with local businesses and homes, giving it a relaxed, local feel. The main area is quite linear, making it easy to navigate by foot or bike. > > > For couples seeking a tranquil getaway, the lodges just north or south of the main Chembe Village are ideal. These establishments often feature private beaches, stunning lake views, and amenities like high-end fitness equipment or spa services, great for unwinding. You're close enough to the village for local experiences but benefit from a more secluded setting. > > > Solo travellers looking to connect with others and participate in activities will find the guesthouses and lodges closer to the centre of Chembe Village more suitable. ### When is the best time to go to Chembe? > During these months, you'll experience pleasant weather with less humidity and virtually no rain, making it ideal for enjoying the lake and outdoor activities. The daytime temperatures are comfortable, typically ranging from 20°C to 28°C, and the evenings are cooler. This period is superb for travellers who want to make the most of the sun and water sports. > > > For those interested in wildlife viewing, particularly birdwatching, the dry season is also excellent as the vegetation is less dense, and animals tend to congregate around water sources. It's a great time for couples or solo travellers looking for a relaxed yet active holiday. ### Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia? ### How can I save on a Chembe hotel booking with Expedia? ### How much is the nightly rate at a Chembe hotel? ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - Accommodation - Flights - Packages - Cars - Holiday Homes - [Cape Maclear Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Maclear-Hotels.d6341910.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Lodges in Cape Maclear ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Maclear-Lodges.d6341910-aaLodges.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [Club Makokola Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Club-Makokola-Hotels.d877.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Hotels near Lake Malawi National Park ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Malawi-National-Park-Hotels.0-l6116278-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Cottages in Mangochi ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mangochi-Cottages.d12004-aaCottages.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [Beach Resorts & in Mangochi ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mangochi-Hotels-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d12004-tBeachHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Mangochi Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mangochi-Hotels.d12004.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Lodges in Mangochi ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mangochi-Lodges.d12004-aaLodges.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [Monkey Bay Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Bay-Hotels.d2497.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Flights to Cape Maclear ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheap-Flights-To-Cape-Maclear.d6341910.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Flights to Club Makokola ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheap-Flights-To-Club-Makokola.d877.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Flights to Mangochi ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheap-Flights-To-Mangochi.d12004.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Flights to Monkey Bay ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheap-Flights-To-Monkey-Bay.d2497.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Cape Maclear Holidays ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Maclear.d6341910.Holidays-City-Breaks) - [Visit Cape Maclear ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cape-Maclear.dx6341910) - [Club Makokola Holidays ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Club-Makokola.d877.Holidays-City-Breaks) - [Visit Club Makokola ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Club-Makokola.dx877) - [Mangochi Holidays ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mangochi.d12004.Holidays-City-Breaks) - [Visit Mangochi ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mangochi.dx12004) - [Monkey Bay Holidays ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Bay.d2497.Holidays-City-Breaks) - [Car hire Cape Maclear ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Cape-Maclear.d6341910.Car-Hire-Guide) - [Mangochi Holiday Rentals ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mangochi-Holiday-Rentals.d12004.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) - [Monkey Bay Holiday Rentals ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Bay-Holiday-Rentals.d2497.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save on select hotels when you book in the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
