We're not going to oversell the accommodation because it isn't the point of your trip.

It's comfortable, it's clean, it’s all you need and you'll be glad you're here.

But if your children are already asking why some kids don't have clean water, or why some families cook over open fires, they might be ready for a trip that takes those questions somewhere real.

92% of handpumps in Blantyre Rural are currently functional. That number exists because the Madzi Alipo team is out in the field every season, doing the work.

But admittedly it gets a lot easier in the dry season.

When you visit in June, July, August or September, you go out with the team and experience it, without sheltering in nearby houses or getting drenched by a surprise rainfall.

Comment DRY SEASON for the guide.

Most of our guests have no grasp of the scale of what they're involved in until they're standing in the middle of it.

2,400+ handpumps monitored. 630 young people are motivated to stay in school each year. 44,317+ seedlings are planted. 100 children scramble through the doors of Tilitonse every single day.

We've been working alongside these communities for over 20 years. The projects were built for people, not visitors. They were here before you arrived and they'll keep going long after you leave.

That's what you step into when you come to Fisherman's Rest. Something real, already in motion, that genuinely loves and thrives from the heart and care you bring.

Head to our website to find out how you can travel to Malawi and be a part of it all.

The guests who hit our hearts are often the ones who almost didn't come.

They weren't sure they'd fit in. Weren't sure their children would cope. Weren't sure what they'd find when they got here.

We've been welcoming families, groups and volunteers to Malawi for over 20 years. The relationships you feel when you walk into a village or through the doors of Tilitonse aren't arranged for visitors. They're just what life here looks like.

Come and see it for yourself (you’ll have to drop us a DM or head to our website).

The 2025 Trustees Annual Report for Fisherman's Rest Community Projects has just landed and it tells stories WELL worth reading.

Trees planted.

Young people educated.

Children fed.

Handpumps working.

And that's only a snapshot!

This is what's happening in rural Malawi right now and guests at Fisherman's Rest Lodge get to experience it IRL.
