Welcome to Thuma House
About The House
Imagine waking to the gentle calls of wild birds, sunlight filtering through the branches of ancient baobabs, and the fresh, untamed beauty of the African bush surrounding you.
This isn't a dream; it's your experience waiting at Thuma House, a one-of-a-kind private lodge nestled within the heart of the forest reserve.
This isn't just a luxurious escape; it's a testament to conservation and a celebration of Malawi's rich culture. Built with love and a deep respect for the environment, the lodge offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in nature while directly contributing to its preservation.
Here, amidst the towering trees and the whispers of the wilderness, you'll find a haven designed with African elegance and a touch of Irish warmth. Imagine evenings spent on the veranda, savouring delicious meals and absorbing the tranquillity of the bush.
At Thuma House, every detail whispers a story of conservation and community. Locally crafted furniture and artisan accents blend seamlessly with thoughtfully curated antiques, showcasing the heart and soul of Malawi.
