Well, hello there! I hope you are well and have had a wonderful weekend. This week, we’re heading to Lake Malawi, where Kim and Clayton have news of a welcome return to the shoreline, a fresh look for a familiar favourite and a few entertaining neighbours. Let’s hand over to the Pumulani team to tell us more…
“Greetings from Pumulani!
There is something special about the changing views here on Lake Malawi. The light shifts, the shoreline changes, and even familiar spots give us a reason to pause and look again.
So, settle in and join us for a little news from our corner of the lake.
The lake has given us our beach back! With the water level dropping by more than a metre, a beautiful stretch of sand has emerged once again. After watching the lake gradually claim more of the shoreline, it is a pleasure to have a little extra room for barefoot strolls, lazy afternoons and simply sitting by the water, watching the world go by.
The clear water and wide-open views are as inviting as ever, but there is something particularly lovely about feeling the sand between your toes again. One of our favourite spots is back, and we are making the most of it.
Out on the water, another familiar favourite has had a bit of a refresh. Our dhow is looking rather splendid with a new set of sails, ready for more leisurely outings on the lake. There is something timeless about watching it glide across the water, sails catching the breeze and mountains in the distance. It is a sight we never tire of, whether we are aboard or watching from the shore.
Of course, between time on the water and afternoons on the beach, there is plenty to catch our attention on land too. Guests have been enjoying the birdlife around the lodge, while the blue monkeys have been providing their own entertainment. We have had several sightings recently, and it is always a treat to pause and watch these curious characters go about their day.
That is part of the pleasure of being here: you might set out for a swim or a stroll and find yourself happily distracted along the way. There is always a good reason to take your time.
We hope this little glimpse of lake life has brought some warmth to your Monday—and perhaps tempted you to join us on the beach.”
Many thanks Kim & Clayton for sharing!
That is it then for this week from us. Have a fabulous week ahead, with plenty of smiles and laughter, and don’t forget to look after one another.
