Staying at the Mushroom Farm was a wonderful experience. The location is unique with the most wonderful views 2,000 feet straight down the escarpment and out across to the northern section of Lake Malawi. Because it had rained recently, visibility was good and we could see the whole range of mountains across the lake in Tanzania as well as all... More

This place is a must go if you are in this region of Malawi and have at least 2 days to spare. It is not easy to get up to the Mushroom Farm but your efforts will be rewarded. A hospitable place with opportunities to camp and stay in a house. A great view over Lake Malawi and beautiful sunrises... More

This is a great place to stay for a few days, either doing nothing and lounging in a hammock while enjoying the spectacular views over Lake Malawi or going for long walks around Livingstonia and the mountains. If you bring a tent it's very cheap, and the food is delicious (especially the pancakes for breakfast).

My wife and I stayed at Mushroom Farm a few times during our stay in Malawi and absolutely loved it. The site has the most spectacular views and is the perfect place to chill out for a few days/weeks/months/years to get away from the hustle and bustle. The food is amazing and the owner is a legend.

After a long journey to the Mushroom Farm - having heard reviews of it from Muzuzu we were terribly disappointed! Having checked in late after some bad nights sleep - we were directed to a campsite - with I must admit amazing views. After a quick dinner - which was quite nice.. we retreated to bed. At about 9.30pm the... More

Quite a long difficult journey, but worth it to stay at the Mushroom Farm and visit the mission at Livingstonia. Amazing location, wonderful views, and very hospitable hosts. Hot showers, solar electricity, comfortable beds, cold beer and good food.
