Second time staying here this year. It wasn't as good as the previous stay. It is still comfortable and safe with the chalets being large with great bathroom facilities. However the WiFi this time around was poor and not working in my room. When I asked about it I was told to connect to the next room which didn’t help much. I expected a lot more based on my previous experience.
The food in the restaurant is very good and if you like Indian food there is a great selection.
I will still come back because there is more to life than having quality WiFi.

Always a great stay at Woolands! Location, food and service are perfect every time. Even had a few “bush buck” come around the chalet for feeding along with the monkeys. Like a safari in town!

A great place to rest after a long trip. The shuttle from the airport was easy to find with a great driver. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was little a private cottage that was clean, safe and comfortable. Great views of nature and wildlife. Great accommodating restaurant on site that stayed open late and opened early. Ate three meals there that were very good. Great value for a beautiful place. Will definitely stay there again when going back.

The rooms were big with a large bathroom and shower. Two beds pushed together to make one large bed. Bed was very comfortable. Linen was very comfortable as well. Each room has its own dedicated wifi which is the best I ever had in Lilongwe.
Loved the monkeys that seem to have the run of the place at times. Makes for a great show. Had my morning coffee on the front porch while the monkeys gave me a wonderful show.
Breakfast was amazing and you can get your eggs cooked anyway you like. Was very delicious.
The restaurant has lots of food choices including a large selection of Indian cuisine. Very close to Lilongwe city center. I highly recommend Woodlands should you need a place to stay. You can’t go wrong here. Thanks to the staff and management. Job well done.

Being so close to the wildlife centre, I saw more animals sitting on my porch than I did in the reserve itself. The food at the restaurant was delicious and staff were attentive. The owner had the courtesy of introducing himself and seeing if everything was fine. Rooms were spacious and the grounds were clean. I enjoyed my stay here and would recommend.

I last stayed here 7 years ago and have known it for over 30 years in its previous incarnation. It does not change. The woodland is lovely and it is tranquil. Duiker can be seen in the grounds. The Indian food is excellent. There are multiple minor faults in the chalet rooms which seem to reflect a lack of supervision of staff. The breakfast, which is in a dismal room, is depressingly bad with no-one monitoring the quite meagre buffet.
