The Team
Joe Mulawu
Owner and managing Director..
Joe’s passion for permaculture, sustainability, recycling and resource management brought him back to his home country Malawi. After 20 years of living in the UK, he felt inspired to create the community and educational space called Masamba Gardens in the heart of Lilongwe, Capital City, which opened its doors in 2017, offering wholesome traditionally prepared food and a place to meet and connect on the shores of the Lilongwe River. Having grown up here, Joe witnessed the changes in Malawi in the ecological space and hopes to contribute his expertise to bring change in the coming years. Joe feels inspired to share his love for sustainability and for Malawi and beyond with travellers, who want to experience a fully African Adventure. Hospitality – Restaurant – Events.
