The best time to visit Matema is during the dry season, which runs from May to October.During these months, you'll experience pleasant, sunny weather with minimal rainfall, making it ideal for enjoying Lake Malawi's clear waters and the surrounding landscapes. The temperatures are comfortable, typically ranging from the mid-20s to low-30s Celsius, great for outdoor activities. This period is particularly good for those looking to relax on the beach, swim, or take boat trips on the lake.For travellers interested in hiking or exploring the nearby Livingstone Mountains, the dry season offers the most accessible trails and the clearest views. The paths are less muddy, and the air is generally less humid, making for a more enjoyable trek.
