(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - October 18th, 2013 - Mumbo Island was recently visited by a group of four septuagenarians from Sweden, who amazed both staff and other guests with their incredible activity. All four of these fit seventy-year-olds enjoyed swimming, kayaking and hiking all over Mumbo and seemed to be constantly engaged in one or other activity for the entire two days of their stay. At the end of it, they professed to have loved their stay on Mumbo over all the places they had been on their many travels and swore to return with their friends and families. The staff are now in intense training after they realised they needed to step up their game to keep up with this new market!

At the other end of the scale Domwe recently played host to a number of Girl Guides as they popped over to the island for a bit of relaxation. The Scout 2013 Jamboree was held in Cape Maclear in August, making Cape Maclear the centre of attraction for many tourists from all over the world. A group from the World Association of Girls Guides and Scouts visited Domwe for 3 days after the Jamboree. The eighteen girls relaxed on Domwe at the end of their two week stay in Malawi after giving talks at various schools and church gatherings. They all loved Domwe Island, especially the kayak to the island and its remoteness and quiet as a reflective time at the end of a busy stay.
