If you are traveling by car, start your journey from the nearest main town, which is either Nkhata Bay or Mangochi, depending on your location around Lake Malawi. Drive towards the nearest port or ferry terminal that services Likoma Island. The two main ports are Nkhata Bay and Monkey Bay. Once at the port, you will need to purchase a ticket for the ferry to Likoma Island. Ferries may operate on a scheduled basis, so check the timetable in advance. The ferry ride takes approximately 4-6 hours, depending on the weather and sea conditions. Ensure you have cash for the ferry fare, which can vary but is generally around $10-$15 for a one-way ticket. Upon arrival at Likoma Island, you can take a local taxi or arrange a pickup with Mango Drift to reach the lodge.
