Nestled in amongst the forest, The Stables Guest House provides three double luxury rooms for visitors wanting something a little different than the usual beachside experience. Each beautifully furnished deluxe room provides a comfortable 4-poster bed with canopy mosquito net, fan, en-suite toilet and sink. Relax and unwind on one of the balconies as you watch the sun set across the horse stables and working yard.

Horse Riding

Visit Matamba Equestrian and experience one of the superb horse rides on offer. They are very professional and are able to cater for all ages and levels of riding experience from the novice through to the experienced rider.

Some of the rides will also take you through beautiful Brachystegia forests, via the local township of Kande, across stunning floodplains and along the breath-taking Kande Beach, and to finish off, ride bareback into Lake Malawi and swim atop your horse, it will be an experience we guarantee you will never forget.

  • An amazing weekend – Thank you

    My daughter took one of their planned 2 hour rides through the forest, local market and down into the lake – an experience she will never forget. How often do you get to swim with horses?
    She then also had the opportunity to stay, help exercise other horses and work there for a day and a half. To say that she thoroughly enjoyed it is a massive understatement.
