Karonga Travel Guide

Malawi

Karonga is a town of around 34,207 people in northern Malawi, on the western shore of Lake Malawi. It is a practical base for exploring this part of the country rather than a large urban centre.

Travellers arriving by air use Karonga Airport (KGJ), which serves the town. There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Karonga, so plan around the town and wider lakeside setting rather than a selection of nearby beach resorts.
