About

Hans & Fabienne Zwiggelaar—Kozel Born in The Haque, The Netherlands. Been together for over 30 years, got married in 2010 in Malawi on our own Mbamba Beach . Both our careers have been with several luxury fashion houses, (Austin Reed, Burberry, Hermes, Harrods etc.) as Managers / Directors. Being closely involved next to Retail management with Customer Care & Customer Services. In 2001 the decision was made to stop the rat race and start to enjoy life under the South African Sun. After several trips through the African continent we came to visit Malawi and fell in love with its people, nature and its incredible lake. The outcome was to build a lodge on the lake side, European standards, but build with Malawians materials and build by Malawians, this was easier said than done as finding the materials such as bricks, wood etc, you need to have a lot of time and patience. The expression no hurry in Africa was something we needed to learn. One of the main objectives of the project is to support the local community and asses where our help is needed. The second objective is that all material used, need to be sustainable, i.e. the wood we purchase need to be replaced for the next generation, and new trees were planted in remote areas. We would like to meet and greet you one day at Mbamba Beach Warm Greetings Hans and Fabienne.
