Likoma Island, the largest island in Lake Malawi and the country's only freshwater island, is located in the southern part of Malawi, administratively in the Likoma District. Known for its pristine natural beauty and unique ecosystem, the island is covered by the dense Likoma Island Forest Reserve, which is home to a variety of rare species, including the endangered Likoma night monkey - one of the rarest primates in the world. The islanders make their living from fishing and agriculture and retain a traditional village culture. Boat trips to the island offer a tranquil experience of lake-island life, hikes to explore the pristine forests, and birdwatchers can spot a variety of endemic bird species. As part of the Lake Malawi National Park, Likoma Island is an example of ecotourism combined with nature conservation, attracting travelers from around the world who seek the untouched and the serene.
