Workation in Mangochi: the essentials
Mangochi, called Fort Johnston in colonial times, is a township of about 53,500 people on the Shire River near the southern end of Lake Malawi. The Queen Victoria clock tower and the Lake Malawi Museum recall that past, and much of the town belongs to the Muslim Yao community. Lodges line the lakeshore to the north, and Lake Malawi National Park, a UNESCO site, lies across the southern arm of the lake. Getting here takes time, since Chileka International Airport near Blantyre is about 200 km away.
