Sunbird Ku Chawe is Malawi’s premier mountain resort and one of the very best places from which you can enjoy the splendour of a magnificent scenic country. Nestled on top of the Zomba Plateau, right on the edge of the plateau, in a tranquil forest reserve renowned for its temperature climate and natural splendour is Sunbird Ku Chawe, which rises up to nearly 2200m (7000ft) above sea level, with the highest peaks on the rim forming a saucer bowl. Around this rim are some of the most stunning views in Africa.

Each hotel room has been attractively furnished with en-suite bathrooms, satellite television and log fires to compliment the cosy temperatures of the hotel. Enjoy your stay at the Sunbird Ku Chawe Hotel.

Sunbird Ku Chawe offers a variety of activities and experiences for you to enjoy and experience first hand.
