Always my favorite property to stay at in Lilongwe. The monkeys are an added bonus.

Always a great stay at Woolands! Location, food and service are perfect every time. Even had a few “bush buck” come around the chalet for feeding along with the monkeys. Like a safari in town!

A great place to rest after a long trip. The shuttle from the airport was easy to find with a great driver. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was little a private cottage that was clean, safe and comfortable. Great views of nature and wildlife. Great accommodating restaurant on site that stayed open late and opened early. Ate three meals there that were very good. Great value for a beautiful place. Will definitely stay there again when going back.

The rooms were big with a large bathroom and shower. Two beds pushed together to make one large bed. Bed was very comfortable. Linen was very comfortable as well. Each room has its own dedicated wifi which is the best I ever had in Lilongwe. Loved the monkeys that seem to have the run of the place at times. Makes for a great show. Had my morning coffee on the front porch while the monkeys gave me a wonderful show. Breakfast was amazing and you can get your eggs cooked anyway you like. Was very delicious. The restaurant has lots of food choices including a large selection of Indian cuisine. Very close to Lilongwe city center. I highly recommend Woodlands should you need a place to stay. You can’t go wrong here. Thanks to the staff and management. Job well done.

Being so close to the wildlife centre, I saw more animals sitting on my porch than I did in the reserve itself. The food at the restaurant was delicious and staff were attentive. The owner had the courtesy of introducing himself and seeing if everything was fine. Rooms were spacious and the grounds were clean. I enjoyed my stay here and would recommend.

This is a beautiful property set in a state park like setting in the heart of Lilongwe. The staff was very nice.

In my opinion, the restaurant offers the best food I've eaten in all of Malawi. The owner visits restaurant patrons every evening. While the rooms need a bit of updating, the property is quiet and scenic.

Lovely staff and delicious Indian food in the restaurant. We all enjoyed our stay, and will be back.

The staff are very accommodating and helped me out of a scheduling mistake I made. The food is some of the best in all of Malawi and the owner is often in the restaurant visiting tables.

Beautiful and tranquil place inside of gorgeous and peaceful park away from heat and bustling city. A lot of trees, shade and calmness. Only issue I had was cabin 6 which had WiFi problem so they moved me to number 9 which was better. Only thing with design about this property is swimming pool which is literally attached to the restaurant and makes it less comfortable. But place is awesome and food is good.

Authentic experience of staying in a cabin surrounded by nature. The food is also a highlight. The decor is a bit dated but the friendly owner explained that he's renovating soon.

Always love this stay... great lodge with a secluded setting right in the middle of town. Excellently appointed rooms and the food and service is always great.

Woodlands is a favorite in Malawi as the entire experience is great from check in to the restaurant and finally the rooms/chalets. Always a positive experience.

Another really good stay at Woodlands. Brilliant, quiet, beautiful location, lovely staff and a wonderful restaurant as an additional bonus. Thanks so much Woodlands - I would stay nowhere else in Lilongwe.

Stayed on a business trip for two nights on two separate occasions and couldn't have been more happier. Wonderful quiet rooms, beautiful hot power shower, great wifi free throughout the hotel, delicious food and breakfast spread and great service. Definitely easier to have your own car as there are little options nearby as it is on a reserve but still very close and convenient to all the central city based locations. Thoroughly recommend.

This place has a solitude and magic to it that makes you feel like you own your own wildlife park. My cabin/chalet had everything I needed including refrigerator, kettle, good mosquito nets, huge bathroom, bottled water, and plenty of space. The real beauty is being able to walk, run, and sit around the grounds with only the baboons, the small antelope, and the bush babies around you. It is truly a unique African experience. The only hiccup I encountered was with the wifi connection (although I believe this was Malawi's problem, not that of the facility). The breakfast buffet is cooked to order which means safer food, i.e., sausages not left sitting at room temp for hours. Great access to the rest of the city. I hope to visit again!
