Malawi is one of the most romantic destinations on earth. Whether you’re watching a stunning sunset over the 'Lake of Stars' , sipping gin in a luxury tented camp in the bush or trekking through the lush forests on top of Zomba Mountain you'll always remember Malawi as the 'Warm Heart of Africa'

Malawi is not the typical destination for honeymooners but offers some of the most romantic locations in the world. Many of the hotels offer a fantastic range of activities ensuring that your time spent here is action packed as well as relaxing. Coupled with its stunning scenery Malawi also offers a more traditional safari experience with a popular holiday combining a beach stay at Lake Malawi with an exciting safari at Zambia's South Luangwa National Park.

Malawi Honeymoons

Malawi is not really a big five safari destination but it is home to lush landscapes with a variety of wildlife and an amazing collection of birdlife. For a premier safari experience we recommend a visit to Mvuu Wilderness Lodge in Liwonde National Park, long the banks of the Shire River. Elephant, Sable Antelope, Impala and Waterbuck are all drawn to this abundant area making sightings a much more frequent occurrence. A combination trip of a safari in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia and beach holiday at Lake Malawi is recommended for those wishing to take in a more traditional Safari- beach venture.

Mumbo Island is a truly magical experience for those who want to experience desert island life, this island is perfect. Largely untouched and unpopulated the island sits in the blue waters of Lake Malawi National Park and is a fabulous location for active outdoor enthusiasts. You can spend your days snorkelling in the crystal waters undisturbed my motorised water sports or soak up the sun and enjoy the magnificent views the island has to offer.

Honeymoon Accommodation

We know the lodges & camps in Malawi which are most suitable for honeymooners. Accommodation options are varied but generally the most romantic places to stay are luxury tented camps. Forget all previous notions you may have about camping. This is the ultimate in camping! Most 'tents' consist of large bedrooms and bathrooms including all the modern amenities that you would expect in a luxury hotel. You just happen to be sleeping under canvas instead of concrete, in our opinion the best way to experience Africa - up close and personal with nature. Honeymoons are once in a lifetime holidays and we will ensure that you stay in accommodations which provide the privacy, exclusivity and luxury you would expect.
