Malawi, conocido como ’ el corazón caliente de África ’ y ’ de la tierra del lago ’. Malawi es dominado por el más hermoso de Great Lakes de África con sus playas blancas tropicales y agua clara cristalina. Una de las naciones africanas más pequeñas, sin mar en el corazón de África central del este, Malawi es un quinto agua.
Su lago extenso, la cadena más situada más al sur de las grandes aguas del valle de la grieta, es 580 kilómetros de largo, el tercer más grande de África, y se liga a través del río de Shire al Zambezi y al mar. Mintiendo dentro de las zonas tropicales, Malawi ofrece a visitantes un clima caliente, en segundo lugar solamente a la amistad y al calor de su gente. El lago Malawi ofrece a uno la oportunidad de olvidarse sobre pasar apresurado del tiempo.
Aún relativamente sin tocar por el mundo moderno, el lago es una encarnación extensa de las postales de mil cuadros. La casa de GAIA funciona a partir de la una de las partes más hermosas del lago, de la primera reserva de naturaleza del agua dulce del mundo y de un sitio de la herencia del mundo: Cape Maclear

Cape Maclear la playa ha llegado a ser renombrada a través de África. Todos los viajeros dirigen hacia Cape Maclear por días de los viajes de la playa, del sol, de la arena, del resto y de la aventura tales como kayaking hacia fuera a las islas y zambullirse con las nutrias. La gente es amistosa, el alimento excelente y la cerveza fría están siempre disponibles, hay buenos comodidad y un montón de actividades. La mayoría del área, incluyendo apagado las islas del apuntalar, del peninsular y de las aguas del lago sí mismo son parte de parque nacional de Malawi del lago. cabo Maclear se separa para alrededor 5km’s a lo largo de la playa. Los hangouts nuevos y de moda mantienen el hacer estallar para arriba la aldea local de Chembe, sólo para cerrar otra vez algunos meses más adelante...
Cape Maclear la península divide el lago en ramas; el viento del oeste uno en una bahía circular enorme, el rama easterly es más alargado y termina en el río de Shire. El territorio es muy montañoso, con los bloques enormes del granito cubiertos en la vegetación lush, jutting de las colinas. El extremo peninsular en una bahía pintoresca protegida por un número de islas. La bahía tiene playas arenosas de oro hermosas delimitadas por un afloramiento del granito del punto de la nutria al oeste y al boquete de Ilala que separan el continente de la isla de Domwe al este.

Es el corazón del Lake Malawi National Park, creado para proteger los pescados del cichlid del lago y para preservar la belleza natural del punto. En el reconocimiento de su unicidad la UNESCO ha declarado el lugar un sitio de la herencia del mundo. El parque fue fundado hace veinticinco años y era el primer parque del agua dulce en el mundo. ¡Hay más de 500 especies de los pescados del cichlid en los nuevos del lago y de cada año se están descubriendo! Debe ser recordado que hay más especies de pescados en cada uno de los grandes lagos africanos entonces en el resto de aguas dulces del glob juntado.

Africa’s Lake Malawi is the world’s 10th largest and 4th deepest lake, as well as a UNESCO World Heritage site. It forms the border between Malawi and Mozambique and features sandy beaches and clear water. There are a number of places to stay along the Lake: In Cape Maclear has been created the First Freshwater National Park.
Cape Malear is a scuba divers paradise, and will not disappoint even the most sophisticated diver, but to see the fish you don’t need to dive deep, a simple swim with a mask will be sufficient to see clouds of coloured fish come towards you.
The diving here is great: the water is warm – no wetsuit needed, at least for snorkeling – there’s a wreck to investigate, and there’s no current.
If you’re going to Malawi, and if you’ve been thinking about getting PADI certified, this is the place to do it:
Beginners Diving:
A one day introduction to Scuba Diving, carried out from the shore in a small group to take your first breaths underwater.
PADI Courses:
From Discover Scuba Diving through to Assistant Instructor.
Specialties:
If there is something in particular that you are interested in you can probably do it underwater in Cape Maclear ! From Photography to Deep Diving with lots in between.
Qualified Divers:
Already qualified ? Come and join us on our boat for some great diving - to suit all levels of training.
Clubs & Groups:
Frogman Divers welcomes Clubs, Groups, Families, Forces personnel, companies and associations of people to dive with us in group sizes ranging from 4 to 12 people.
For those that did not dive for a lont time, a one day refresher course to check your skills and get you back in the water.
The club is now located on the shore in M.Stevens premises in place of the former Scuba Shack diving club that moved to...Mozambique!
Frogman Divers is the approved diving and water sports centre in Cape Maclear for most leading Tour Operators operating in Malawi.
You can rent snorkeling gear on a daily basis.

During your stay at in Cape Maclear, you can eat in the following places:
The GAIA House restaurant operate a large of Western cuisine for all appetites, and Specials every weeks will introduce our guests with another taste...
Visit us at Gaia and try our homemade burgers (Chicken, Veggie, Beef).
Cookies and snacks, home baked bread and cakes...
The Gaia House Restaurant Menu is regularly updated and changed throughout the year,
During your stay in Cape Maclear, you can also try any of the restaurants along the beach, we recommend you the following:
* Gaia House Restaurant, offers the best quality food at affordable prices.
* Fat Monkeys is an open-air restaurant on the south end of the village. They have good Western-styled food (try the pizza) and sometimes play host to lively parties at night.
* Froggies Restaurant is an excellent restaurant with French attitude located in Cape Macl Lodge, just before Fat Monkeys.
* Gecko Lounge has a good restaurant and local specialties, and a fully loaded shop for snacks and chocolate bars!.
* Thomas’s has a simple restaurant and local specialties (good chicken curry), along with a noisy bar!.
There are several small Malawian restaurants along the main road. If you want a great, reasonably priced seafood dinner ($2 or so for a big Chambo fillet), try any of them. A reservation is a good idea, not because the restaurant is likely to be crowded, but rather, so the owner knows he’s going to have some business.
Be sure to eat some of the chips (french fries) the boys sell along the main road (African Mac Donalds!) . They’ll fry them fresh, and they make a great snack. If you order them regular, be prepared for "soggy" fries. If you want them crispy, order them "brown." For lunch, grab some chips, buy some bread ( scono) and tomatoes, and have tomato sandwiches and chips.
Don’t forget to arrange with one of the beach boys for an evening fis dinner on the beach. It’s a lot of fun. Be careful, though — they’re likely to come back and ask for more money, for any number of reasons. Be firm but respectful.
For self catering groups, try the market in Chembe village for fresh products and vegetables.....

The chicken farm project in Cape Maclear was initiated in 2006 to provide alternative nutrition source to Chembe village and develop a sustainable program to provide eggs and chicken for all the village.
This project has started in 2006 and the farm employed up to 12 people throughout the year.
The chicken project is today in standby and we are waiting for Alan Joffe, the directing manager of the project, to come back to Cape Maclear !!!! Hopefully the garden is still operating and provide the village some premium vegetables, biologically grown without chemical fertilizer.
We, at Gaia House, trully support this project and our kitchen regularly buy fresh vegetables, spices and eggs at the farm,
Some pictures,
Few remaining chicks remain, providing eggs for the farmer familly...

Jeffrey, the farmer....



Do not hesitate to visit the farm during your stay in Cape Maclear and get some fresh vegetables from the garden !
