Zambia and Malawi Family Holiday
This luxury family safari takes in two of Zambia's most famous parks, the South Luangwa National Park and the Lower Zambezi National Park, followed by relaxation on the shores of picturesque Lake Malawi. Time + Tide Chongwe Camp in the Lower Zambezi National Park, offers spectacular views over the Zambezi River and its vast array of resident wildlife. This beautiful region of Zambia is a haven for elephant, lion, leopard, hippo and much more. The activities here include game drives, game walks (age dependent) as well as canoeing, boating and angling.
Next travel to Time + Tide Kakuli in the South Luangwa National Park. The Luangwa River teems with hippo and crocodile and provides a lifeline for one of the greatest diversities of habitat and wildlife. The camp provides a great base for exploring by vehicle or on foot (age dependent) or by seasonal boat trips. After your safari you will head to the white sandy beaches of Kaya Mawa on Lake Malawi for some relaxed lakeside living. An ecotourist's dream, the resort is run solely on renewable energy. Days are spent snorkelling through crystal clear wates, kayaking or simply relaxing on the beach with the family.
