Tongole Wilderness Retreat

Tongole Wilderness Lodge, also known as Tongole Wilderness Retreat, is an award-winning luxury eco-lodge situated on the forested banks of the Bua River within the Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve. As the reserve's only high-end safari lodge, it offers guests an exclusive wilderness experience surrounded by pristine miombo woodland, abundant wildlife and spectacular river scenery. The lodge was purpose-built using locally sourced materials and operates with sustainability at its core, relying on solar energy while supporting conservation and community development through the Tongole Foundation. Although primarily recognised as a luxury safari destination, Tongole is also an exceptional venue for executive retreats, leadership workshops, board meetings, wellness retreats and intimate destination weddings. Its riverside decks, open-air lounge, private dining spaces and scenic outdoor areas provide unique settings for small corporate events and exclusive celebrations. Guests enjoy luxury suites, gourmet dining, guided safari experiences, canoeing, birdwatching, bush walks, cultural excursions and personalised hospitality. The peaceful environment encourages creativity, strategic thinking and team bonding away from the distractions of urban centres. Tongole combines conservation, luxury accommodation and personalised event services, making it one of Malawi's most distinctive destinations for executive meetings and intimate events in a natural setting.
