Sit back, relax and imagine this scene.
You are in Africa, sitting under the shade of a fig tree, looking out over one of the world's largest freshwater lakes.
To your right rock pools filled with crystal clear water, teem with fluorescent coloured fish darting amongst smooth ancient boulders.
On your left lies a white sandy beach stretching away from you, backed by pristine forest. All you can hear is the warm waters of this tropical lake lapping against the beach. Out on the lake the silhouette of a fisherman in his wooden canoe passes by as he paddles home with his day's catch.
Sounds like the perfect place to relax? At Nkwichi Lodge, on the shores of Lake Niassa in Mozambique, it's just the end of another day in this peaceful corner of Africa.
Nkwichi. The ideal romantic interlude. The perfect match for an African safari.
