Zomba Forest Lodge
Listen to the Silence...
Home away from Home...
Zomba Forest Lodge has been a rest house/lodge for the past 30 years or so but it is now not just a lodge, it is our home. It is not just a business, it is a lifestyle we choose. If you would like to visit us, we will treat you like friends, guests to our house so please do not expect anything too formal!
The atmosphere here is intimate, cosy and friendly. We want to make sure that you have a great time, whatever you wish to do, whether that is hiking all day or spending a hard day relaxing listening to the sounds of the forest.

The Run4Reforestation is the main fundraising event for TREEZ, our small conservation project working on the slopes of Zomba Plateau.
For a bit of background, read on:
Malawi, among the very poorest countries on Earth, suffers from one of the worse rates of deforestation. TREEZ, is a small conservation project (Registered as a Company Limited By Guarantee operating as a Not for Profit in Malawi, and as a charity in the UK) aims to reverse the trend through community empowerment.
Its main goals are the protection, rehabilitation and the enhancement of the environment and ecosystems of Zomba Plateau Forest Reserve. TREEZ aims to mitigate the damage caused by the loss of the biomass and help reduce the effects of climate change in the Zomba area through sponsoring village sports teams and conservation groups who earn money in return for eco-system services.
TREEZ works at raising awareness, tree planting, promotion of natural regeneration and fire prevention in order to increase water retention, reduce soil erosion, provide clean air and water, and protect and preserve Malawi’s biodiversity while generating income in the local communities.
TREEZ believes in putting communities first in order to ensure that conservation lasts.
