While in Lilongwe we also had the privilege of being able to stay at Kumbali Lodge. Kumbali Lodge is located at the edge of the city but it seems like it is a world away. At night we could see the village cooking fires across the way. It was simply amazing - a wonderful place to end our journey. While staying at the lodge we continued our walking - lots of walking. We walked to a nearby cultural village and visited with artists. Another path we walked took us to a permaculture farm. This farm is trying to promote permaculture and help people throughout Malawi produce food for themselves so that a.) people no longer starve to death and b.) Malawi does not need to import food from neighboring countries, thus keeping the cost of food down, thus people who cannot grow their own food no longer starve to death either. The lodge itself runs a farm; all vegetables are grown on site and the menu is made up from what is growing at any given time. It also runs a small dairy, producing its own milk, cream, butter and yogurt.
