Inspirational safari & beach holiday to Malawi and Zambia
Spend 12 nights journeying between Zambia and Malawi on an epic beach and bush combination. Safari in Zambia's South Luangwa National Park, home of the walking safari, and in Malawi's Liwonde National Park with its remarkable biodiversity, before relaxing on the shores of Lake Malawi. 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 your bush camp, Chindeni Camp for your chance to enjoy the 'real' Africa. Partake in both walking safaris and game drives before flying into Malawi and traveling to Liwonde National Park, providing a unique safari experience thanks to the inclusion of the Shire River. Sleep in a tent with a private viewing platform looking out on the lagoon and by day, experience the wildlife via game drives, nature walks and river safaris. End your incredible journey with a few nights on Lake Malawi. Kaya Maya offers true get-away-from-it-all relaxation on the white sandy beaches of Likoma Island.
