Site Description

Salima will be the site for the Feast of Tabernacles 2024 in Malawi. Yamikani Lodge Conference Hall will be our meeting place. This location is an 80-minute drive from the eastern side of the capital city, Lilongwe. Yamikani Lodge is about 22 kilometers (13 miles) away from Lake Malawi. This site is one of the fastest growing rural townships in Malawi.

Accommodation costs of the nearby hotels range from US$8 to US$162 per night. Meals of various cuisine range from US$3 to US$27. All rooms are furnished with mosquito nets and fans, and some are equipped with air conditioners.

October occurs during the hot season. Temperatures range from 20 to 33 degrees Celsius (68 to 91 degrees Fahrenheit). It is always sunny! Rainfalls are very rare during this month. As usual, Malawians are friendly, as Malawi is internationally known to be the “Warm Heart of Africa.”

There will be plenty of opportunities to go to our beautiful lake for other activities. 

The most beautiful international accommodation is the Sunbird Livingstonia Beach. The hotel is on the shores of the fresh Lake Malawi and is surrounded by beautiful green hills. This location is a 15-minute drive from the Feast venue. Various water activities and sight excursions are available.
