The Africa Wild Truck Lodge & Camp<\/strong> is located at the foot of Mount Mulanje<\/strong>, at an altitude of 650 metres above sea level in southern Malawi<\/strong>. For a truly unique stay, we recommend one of our comfortable rooms housed within a former colonial red-brick<\/strong> building dating back to 1912. Originally believed to have served as a bookshop, the building has been carefully restored<\/strong> by Francesca and transformed into an eco-friendly<\/strong> property designed to minimise its environmental impact, in keeping with the Africa Wild Truck philosophy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
