Is the Huntingdon House for Me?

Set on the lush Satemwa Tea Estate in southern Malawi, Huntingdon House is a retreat unlike any other. This beautifully restored home offers a rare blend of history, charm, and comfort, making it one of the most distinctive Malawi safari lodges for travellers seeking something different. Surrounded by rolling tea fields and century-old trees, this Huntingdon accommodation provides a serene base to explore the region.

Once the residence of the estate’s founding family, the house has been transformed into an inviting Malawi lodge. Each individually designed room reflects its colonial heritage, blending antique furnishings with modern touches. Spacious lounges, open fireplaces, and shady verandas invite you to unwind and enjoy the quiet beauty surrounding Huntingdon accommodation.

Dining is central to the experience at this Malawi lodge, with meals often served outdoors under the trees or in the elegant dining room. Huntingdon accommodation includes afternoon tea  featuring the estate’s homegrown teas paired with freshly baked treats. Guests can also discover the estate on foot or by bike and enjoy a guided tea-tasting journey for a deeper connection to Satemwa’s heritage.

More than just a place to stay, this Malawi lodge appeals to couples seeking romance, history lovers fascinated by Malawi’s colonial past, and birdwatchers enchanted by the estate’s diverse avian life. Its intimate character and peaceful setting make it a memorable alternative to traditional Malawi safari lodges.

For travellers looking beyond the typical Malawi safari lodges, Huntingdon House offers a unique, off-the-beaten-path escape with a rich sense of place.
