Maleri Islands, Protected islands in Lake Malawi National Park, Malawi.
Three uninhabited islands of Maleri, Nankoma, and Nakantenga form an archipelago located 3 kilometers from Senga Bay in Lake Malawi National Park.
Lake Malawi National Park, encompassing the Maleri Islands, became the first freshwater national park globally and received UNESCO World Heritage status in 1984.
Local fishing communities maintain traditional practices near the islands, contributing to the regional economy while respecting the established 100-meter no-fishing zones.
Blue Zebra Island Lodge on Nankoma Island provides accommodation and organizes water activities, with access available through boat transfers from Senga Bay.
The islands contain populations of cichlid fish species that exist nowhere else in Lake Malawi, along with 300 bird species including cormorants and fish eagles.
