Kawandama Hills Plantation is a renowned brand located in the stunning Viphya Forest Reserve in Northern Malawi. Spanning over 6,500 hectares, we have established ourselves as a leading essential oil plantation in Southern Africa. Our primary focus is on producing high-quality lemon eucalyptus citronella oils for export to the United Kingdom, South Africa, and the USA, as well as for domestic sale.

We are also proud to offer a range of plant-based essential oils, including lavender and rose geranium, and our very own PMD active Virisafe hand sanitizer, which has been proven effective against Covid-19. In addition to our essential oil and sanitizer products, we have become the first legal and sustainable charcoal producer in Malawi. Our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility is reflected in our extensive tree planting efforts and our efforts to combat illegal charcoal production.

As we continue to expand, we aim to produce nearly 50 tons of oil and over 1,000 tons of charcoal annually by 2025, with even greater production capabilities on the horizon. With British and Malawian shareholders and a family-owned business model, Kawandama Hills Plantation operates with integrity and a dedication to quality. Our facilities include a state-of-the-art distillation plant, fuel storage facility, workshops, reservoirs, and more.

We maintain a fully equipped fire fighting team and prioritize the well-being of our staff with on-site housing and facilities. Our goals are ambitious yet attainable. We aspire to be the leading essential oil and charcoal producer in Sub-Saharan Africa, with an annual target of 85 tons of essential oils and 2,000 tons of sustainable charcoal by 2028.

We strive to guarantee 100% pure oils that meet global standards and to serve as a creative and innovative example of responsible business practices. Through our unique PMD-based sanitizers and repellents, we aim to provide effective solutions to the African market. We are committed to implementing social projects in education, infrastructure, and tree planting, ensuring sustainability and prosperity for the future.

At Kawandama Hills Plantation, we are driven by success, integrity, and the harmonious relationship between nature and industry.
