The Commonage (formerly Ntchisi Forest Lodge) sits on the foot of one of the last remaining indigenous rainforests in an isolated spot near Lilongwe. You can relax whilst enjoying stunning mountain and lake views, experience the warm-hearted hospitality of a part of rural Malawi where tourists are still a rarity, and enjoy relaxing and walking in the beautiful scenery.

There is lots to do in this quaint little spot due to its location, in the Ntchisi Forest Reserve. You can choose to head out on a lovely short stroll into the forest, or hike for a few hours and take a lovely picnic with you and sit near one of the rivers or waterfalls. Look out for the incredible birdlife around or the gorgeous orchids that continue to pop up along the way. Hard to imagine this is just outside the busy capital city…it is heavenly.
One of the newest jewels to the lodge, the forest cabin is perfect for an intimate and private stay, enjoy it with close friends, you and a loved one or even the family. Although hidden within the forest it is still close enough to the lodge itself. Enjoy some peace and quiet on your veranda and in the colder months you can enjoy a roaring fire in the comfort of communal area.
