“Comfortable and beautiful stay at the foot of the Mulanje Mountain”
We really enjoyed our stay at Kara O’Mula. We only stayed for one night, but wish it could have been longer. The location is great (just ensure you follow the sign on the road and not google maps, which took us on a very bad dirt road). The staff were so friendly, and even allowed us to eat breakfast late when we came back from our hike. The rooms are comfortable and the air conditioning was a life saver. The food was great too! Would highly recommend.

Lovely to sit and enjoy the view with a coffee. Lots of channels on the room tv. A nice bar and pool table. Right next to the hiking trail. Lovely staff… especially Angela, Rebecca and Maureen! I’m so sorry I left one of your small towels in my bag!!!

“Wonderful mountain-side retreat.”
The location is amazing. Beautiful views and the mountain right there for hiking. The food at the hotel was wonderful. Room was clean and well-equipped. Staff were friendly and helpful. I did two hiking tours and a trip to Satemwa tea plantation; all were great and worthwhile.

“Great food and lovely staff.”
Very nice hotel in Mulanje. Probably one of the best in the area with a nice view. Definitely high standard for Malawi. We stayed here before climbing the mountain. Staff was kind enough to let us leave our luggage since we'd be climbing the mountain for a couple of days. Especially, the food manager was amazing! He accommodated all our requests and was even kind enough to specially prepare food for us. They didn't have iced tea in stock, so he made it freshly for us. He even cooked an amazing Sri Lankan 4 course meal for us (which wasn't on the menu) because we expressed interest. He made us one of the best curry we've ever had. If you're in Mulanje you should at the very least stop by for the food.

“Amazing views of Malawi and Mozambique!”
The view from the room was incredible and the food in the restaurant was really nice. There were two guys playing guitar in the bar area in the afternoon which was so great. Simple check in and plenty of parking.
