Originally the family home of Maclean Kay, Huntingdon House was constructed in 1928 and continues to embody a colonial charm and unique character that cannot be recreated. Forming the herat of the Satemwa Tea Estate, this magnificent house is marked by sprawling manicured gardens and secret terraces waiting to be discovered by guests. Here you will have the opportunity to explore the Satemwa Tea Estate, one of the oldest and most respected estates in Malawi. The estate is managed and operated by third generation members of the Cathcart Kay family and today members of the family live onsite. If you wish, you can spend time with Chip and his wife Dawn, learning about the rich history of this exceptional property and of Malawi's tea and coffee estates.
Huntingdon House has been tastefully refurbished to offer 5 unique suites, each individually decorated to reflect the quirks and character of this grand residence. Each area of the house has a story of its own; from the original children's nursery to the resident priests quarters and private Chapel. Guests are encouraged to share in the colorful history of one of Malawi's oldest homes while being spoilt by our team of professional staff.

The warm colors and wonderful light from the bay windows at one end of this room create a fun, spacious atmosphere. The room has two twin beds and can put in one more single bed to sleep three people.
I could not be happier with my Adventure Life experience, from beginning to end. I travel a lot, and I think your company and personnel do an outstanding job. I truly appreciate your professionalism, attentiveness, and flexibility. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your company and would be happy to serve as a reference.
The trip planners at Adventure Life were very helpful and always replied to my inquiries right away. The excursions, accomodations, and local guides were excellent

Be sure to sign up for all the tours, otherwise you will be sitting on the boat since not all stops are moored at a dock. Some are anchored.

There were two best aspects to our trip:
1. The Adventure Life folks and the folks in Athens and Crete who supported our itinerary, guided us, and ran the cooking program were all superb.
2. Everything they all planned for us went without a hitch. When we needed a bit of help, they came through with really good answers.
We became aware of AL from a friend who had an excellent experience in a different location. So did we. We can recommend AL without reservation.

My agent Jeff did not push the sale while providing thorough information and replying quickly to my many questions.

We have used AL for decades now to plan trips. Kassandra has been with us from the start and has never disappointed. She knows our family and our quirks and is always willing to fit the trip to us. This time we made her work for the booking because of family member schedules. It has all come together for a great Christmas gift for many families.
