 Mishembe
Bay ( Luke’s Beach) occupies the last bay on the
Zambian side of the shore. It's really Robinson-Crusoe stuff -
just a pure white sandy beach sheltered in its own bay.
Mishembe
is usually accessed by a 30-minute boat ride from Mpulungu, but
is only five minutes' boat ride from Isanga Bay Lodge, which can
be reached by 4WD.
There's a basic stone chalet hidden on the hillside, and three
simple reed chalets on wooden platforms overlooking the lake.
These have en-suite showers and flush toilets. Then there's
space for campers under the palm trees, amongst the baboons,
monkeys and birds.
 Bring
all your own food as the team here, including experienced 'bush
chef' Boniface, will cook it for you. It's a magical beach and
very good value.
The bay is ideally situated for walks up to Kalambo Falls, which
is about 60 minutes each way, and there is very good snorkelling
right in the bay - the visibility is about 10m.
