The Funky Cichlid

The Funky Cichlid is named after the awesome little multi-coloured fish found in Lake Malawi called Cichlids ('sick-lids'). A cheap & cheerful Backpacker & Beach Bar with basic but comfortable accommodation and a popular restaurant. The perfect place for adventurers to unwind, explore & have fun! Check for special events/party weekends and contact them for Malawi travel advice, reservation assistance, camping & group bookings.

The sunset deck is an ideal sundowner spot, attracting diverse crowds of travelers & locals who exchange stories, smiles & laughs over a cold Carlsberg Green or Gin &Tonic before dancing the night away. Great Hammock & Chill area; Sports Bar & Lounge (all DSTV channels); & non-motorized watersports. Ideal location to explore Lake Malawi National Park.
