Returned to Malawi for a holiday 25 years after leaving the country (after working there for 4 years). Spent 2 nights at Nkpola, where my wife and I had last stayed 25 years ago. Arriving just after the Presidential Elections (with the result still to be determined), the hotel was deserted. We were the only guests staying there the first night. But Reception was not very welcoming and initially gave us one of the few chalets without a beach view. We requested a lakeside chalet and one was, eventually, found.
