Choose your way into Chalo
Start with a meal at Harvest Table, a walk through the growing rows, or a working day with your team. Stay in a villa when you want more time on the farm.
Come for the day
Walk-ins are welcome from breakfast through dinner. Add a ride if you want to take the day further.
Come to Harvest Table
Stay on the farm
Bring people together
Chalo is a farm before it is anything else.
In the morning, water moves through the growing rows. Vegetables, herbs, and chillies are tended and picked. Fish move beneath the reservoir. The work follows the weather, the water, and what the season asks of the people caring for it.
Come close enough to see that life for yourself. Walk the paths, meet what is growing, and watch the farm make its way into the rest of your day.
Off the national grid
Chalo is 100% off-grid and runs on solar. The kitchen, the villas, and the work of the land do not wait on a line from Lilongwe.
The water is the estate's too. It is drawn from our own borehole, then purified and sterilised so it is safe to drink, and the growing rows are watered from the farm's own irrigation. That independence is the green footprint of the place.
How the farm stands
What is happening in the fields finds another life at Harvest Table.
Sit down after a walk, arrive from Lilongwe for a long lunch, or let dinner bring the day together. The menu moves with the farm and nearby growers, so returning means tasting a different moment in the season.
Come hungry.
Let the afternoon take its time.
Take a little of the farm home.
When one day is not enough, let the evening settle around you.
Return from dinner to a private villa, sleep inside the quiet of the estate, and step outside as the farm begins again. The room gives you comfort; the morning is the reason to stay.
Stay for the sunset.
Sleep on the land.
Meet the morning here.
Reserve your villa online and pay now or on arrival — whichever suits you.
A table at Harvest Table, a walk through the growing rows, and something from the farm shop to take home. Make the short drive out of Lilongwe and spend some time at Chalo.
Some days on the farm are meant to belong to many people.
Bring your team together for a focused working day, share lunch at Harvest Table, and step onto the farm between sessions. Chalo also welcomes celebrations and family gatherings, with villas for guests staying over.
We came for the weekend and stayed an extra night. The quiet, the food, the space — it is the closest thing to a proper countryside estate I have found in Malawi.
