Africa >> East Africa >> Malawi >> Nkhotakota

Nkhotakota is a town in Central Malawi. It has a population of just over 20,000, and is located on the shore of Lake Malawi. The town itself is quite basic, with a few basic hotels that cater predominantly to the domestic market. However, there are several lake-side resorts catering to the foreign tourist market. One of the most popular is the Nkhotakota Pottery, located 10km from Nkhotakota town, which offers accommodation in addition to a pottery workshop, which can be used by visitors for a fee.

The town itself is quite sedate, with a typical African market and several drinking holes. One of the most popular with local expats is the Sungu Hotel, situated close to the market. The tree under which David Livingstone conducted a meeting in an attempt to end the slave trade can be seen outside St Annes Hospital.
