.jpg)
Daily departures from Lilongwe exploring two of the region's finest wildlife parks as well as Lake Malawi.
Days 1, 2 & 3:
Spend 3 days in the South Luangwa National park in Zambia game viewing in open 4x4 vehicles by day & night as well as on walking safaris. The Luangwa Valley, which marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, is one of the last unspoiled wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa. It covers an area of over 9000 sq. km. through which the meandering Luangwa River runs. The ox bow lagoons, woodland and plains of the valley host huge concentrations of game - including elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo, and particularly leopard, as well as over 400 species of birds.
Stay at Nkwali Camp for 3 nights, located on private land overlooking the National Park. Your chalet is cool and spacious, with a view of the river. Elephants often cross the Luangwa which can be seen from the bar, or come to the waterhole near the thatched dining room.
Days 4 & 5:
Transfer to Malawi and Liwonde National Park, one of the most scenic and diverse around. Home to black rhino, lion, huge crocodiles, countless pods of hippo, sable, elephants and some of the best birding on the continent. Game viewing by boat, open 4x4 vehicles, night drives and walks.
Transfer from Liwonde to the shores of Lake Malawi for your last two nights. The Nankumba Peninsula in the South end of the Lake is recognized as one of the most beautiful shores of the Lake and borders Lake Malawi National Park. This Park was established in order to protect the cichlid fish unique to the area. In 1984 the park was designated a World Heritage Site.
Stay at Pumulani Lodge, situated on the west side of the Nankumba Peninsula in the south end of Lake Malawi – romantically called “The Lake of Stars”. The ten villas are scattered around the hillside and are individual in shape and style but all have a spacious bedroom, bathroom and extensive sitting area. The front sliding doors open onto the deck – elevated above the ground, giving optimal views. The central dining and bar area is high above the lake with the most spectacular views and leads onto an.jpg)
