Likhubula Falls (Dziwe la Nkhalamba), nestled within the scenic Mulanje Mountain Forest Reserve in Malawi, offers a refreshing natural escape. Accessible primarily by hiking trails from Likhubula village, visitors can reach the falls via a moderate walk. While it's possible to undertake shorter walks solo, hiring a local guide is highly recommended for safety, navigation, and enriching the experience, especially for longer treks on Mount Mulanje. Seasonal restrictions apply, with the dry season (May to October) generally preferred for hiking due to more stable trail conditions, though the falls might be fuller after the rainy season (November to April). Typical costs include a forest reserve entry fee (e.g., MVR 1,000-2,000 for foreigners) and guide fees, making it a moderately priced activity. A visit specifically to the falls usually takes a few hours round trip from Likhubula, ideal for a half-day excursion. Useful insights include bringing appropriate footwear, swimwear for the cool pools, and sufficient water and snacks, as the area provides a stunning natural swimming and relaxation spot amidst breathtaking mountain scenery.
