One of the most isolated and beautiful destinations in Malawi is Likoma Island, the larger of two islands in the northern region of the lake.

With breathtaking views of the mountains and wilderness of Mozambique, Likoma remains almost untouched since its discovery by Scottish missionaries at the end of the nineteenth century. It became the base for the UMCA Anglican Mission to Nyasa, and the Cathedral of St. Peter was erected on the island in 1903.
