Zambia Safari and Malawi Beach Vacation
A unique safari and beach combo for nature lovers and adventurers. Stay in remote bush camps in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park, home of the walking safari, and end off with a ‘beach’ experience on Lake Malawi. Unquestionably one of the best game viewing areas in Zambia, if not Africa, the South Luangwa offers a phenomenal game viewing experience.
The true experience of the South Luangwa National Park is all about bush camps, simple back-to-nature camps, where you will lose yourself in the sights and sounds of the wilderness. After a night at Mfuwe Lodge, you will then journey to 2 bush camps, Kapamba Camp and Chindeni Camp for your chance to enjoy the ‘real’ Africa. Partake in both walking safaris and game drives. Cap the safari off with a relaxing beach stay at the luxurious Pumalani Lodge on the southern edge of Lake Malawi. Relax on the sandy beach or at the stylish infinity pool. There are sensational diving and snorkeling opportunities in the freshwater lake and the chance to go water skiing, sailing and kayaking too.
