Although this northern island is in Mozambique waters, they are territorially Malawian. It is linked to the country by steamer, and is highly populated. The island is covered in plantations of cassava and rice, and shaded by huge baobab trees. The coastline is alternatively rocky, with a few sandy bays, as well as marshy in certain areas, and you need to watch out for crocodiles when swimming or snorkelling. It is best to ask the locals where the safe places are to swim. The market is an interesting and lively place, and a huge baobab, taken over and killed by a strangler fig, is now used by the traders as a cool storeroom. There is a dhow ferry running between Likoma Island and Chizumulu Island, which is a good place to spend a day snorkelling or diving.
