Chambe Peak

Chambe Peak rises to an elevation of 3,002 meters above sea level, featuring steep cliffs and a plateau covered in native cedar forest.

The mountain became a significant climbing destination after British mountaineer Chris Bonnington documented his expeditions in the Chambe Hut record book during the 1970s.

Local communities regard the cedar forests surrounding the peak as sacred spaces, incorporating them into traditional ceremonies and conservation practices.

The Forestry Commission maintains a hut with basic facilities at the base, providing overnight accommodation for mountaineers preparing to climb the peak.

The summit offers clear views extending across Southern Malawi into Mozambique, while the Likubula Path presents technical climbing challenges on its rocky terrain.
