Safari in Malawi & Zambia

Highlights

Stunning scenery of the Zomba Plateau Relax on Lake Malawi's idyllic shores Search for big game on foot in South Luangwa

Scenery of Zomba Plateau From the capital Lilongwe, we head to Zomba in southern Malawi, a relatively low-lying plateau interrupted by dramatic mountains - a hiker's paradise with plentiful birds and other wildlife and dramatic views across to the Mulanje Massif and Mozambique. During our time here we visit Chingwe's Hole, Queen's and Emperor's views and explore the surrounding montane forest hoping to see wildlife from blue and vervet monkeys to bushbuck, as well as many birds including Livingstone's turaco. Magic of Lake Malawi From Zomba we head to Lake Malawi, enclosed by sheer mountains and edged by endless palm-fringed beaches, a huge inland sea carved out by the Great Rift Valley and the most beautiful of Africa's great lakes. We spend our time here on its tropical shores where you can relax, snorkel among the teeming tropical fish or perhaps enjoy a boat trip to secluded islands. South Luangwa National Park After a stay at Mua Mission where we turn west into Zambia and its premier National Park, South Luangwa. Lying on the valley floor between the meandering Luangwa River and the steep Muchinga Escarpment, Luangwa is one of the finest parks in all of Africa, ideal for foot safaris and also noted for its high concentration of game and variety of habitats - from shaded mopane woodland to lagoons and the banks of the Luangwa River. We spend our time here on a variety of game-drives, walking safaris and nature trails.
