Our specialist says:
Combining the quintessential Africa experience of big game viewing and time spent on its idyllic beaches, this trip comes with a little twist in that you don’t actually round off the adventure on the coast, rather on the shores of Lake Malawi, the mighty Rift Valley Lake that runs down the east of the country.
Start off by flying overnight from London in to Lusaka where you will spend the first night of your trip. A modern, bustling African capital, Lusaka is the gateway to all of Zambia’s National Parks and spending the night here allows you to relax after your flights and prepare for the adventure ahead. Early the following morning fly up to Mfuwe on the edge of the South Luangwa National Park where you will enjoy an iconic African safari experience. With an abundance of big game, dramatic landscape and a brilliant variety of activities on offer, this is a wonderful spot for your safari experience that will leave memories to last a lifetime. From Mfuwe you will fly to Lilongwe in Malawi where a vehicle will be waiting to transfer you to the glittering shores of Lake Malawi where you will enjoy your beach time. Relax on the soft sand beaches, swim in the warm waters of the lake, enjoy a variety of watersports and get an insight in to the local culture with visits to local villages. This is a truly magical spot and a wonderful place to spend a few days after what will have been a busy safari.
This is the perfect trip for those looking to enjoy the best of what these two captivating countries have to offer – wide open spaces, amazing wildlife, stunning lake views and unspoilt, quiet beaches. A wonderful way to spend your time in Africa and one that we heartily recommend.
