  • Description
  • Facilities
Cool Running is a friendly and relaxing guest house situated on the shore of Lake Malawi, in the heart of the small yet vibrant fishing village of Senge Bay. The guest house has backpacker-style accommodation and is 122 km from Lilongwe.

The guest house has a garden with lush grass and lots of shady trees filled with bird life. Guests can choose to stay in one of the En-suite Rooms, Campsites, a Cool Tent, Private Dorm or Caravan. We have warm showers and flushing toilets.

The exclusive restaurant is known for its individually home-cooked meals. Guests can relax in the bar and enjoy the most amazing views of the lake. The bar is well stocked with both national and international drinks, and the guest house has DStv in the communal lounge.

The Cool Runnings boat is available for hire under a fully qualified skipper named Magic. Guests can enjoy waterskiing, banana tubing and knee boarding. For those who want something a little more relaxed, there is a catamaran, canoes and kayaks for hire. You can also enjoy trips to local attractions such as Lizard Island and Cape Maclear at bargain prices.

Cool Runnings is run and owned by Samantha Ludick who has been involved with the Cool Project. 45% of the guest house’s profits go directly into the community through a number of projects run by Samantha, ranging from soccer to healthcare, education and agriculture. Cool Runnings also offers a variety of volunteer opportunities for anyone who wishes to prolong their stay in Senga Bay and get involved with the projects.
