Join us with guest leader Peter Schatens with 25 years of working in Africa as an International Forester to explore Malawi's Forest Lodges. We will experience during your journey a wonderful balance of people, culture, food, wildlife and ofcourse the wonderful spectacle of Lake Malawi! We suggest you add to this Safari our Complete Zambezi safari to Lower Zambezi NP or our option to North Luangua NP in Zambia - A real treat! Take the time to view the wonderful pictures below!
We have teamed with Mark Sprong who was born in South Africa and now a resident of Malawi for over two decades! Mark operates a top notch operation in Malawi and has helped us bring you this wonderful journey! Timothy spent many months exploring/researching Malawi to bring you this trip of a lifetime with three guides on board to give you the attention you deserve! Our groups will be no smaller than 6 or larger than 7! Groups smaller than 6 are possible at additional cost!
Note: 2 options - Overland Journey or Charter flight to Nyika National Park - The Overland option uses more price sensitive accomodation where possible but also allows for two more locations to be visited en-route - Vwaza Marsh and Livingstonia!
Both Options include:
- Staying on Lake Malawi at the Livingstonia Beach Hotel near Salima for all the lake activities and time for relaxation.
- Liwonde National Park - This wonderful location on the Shire river that drains Lake Malawi offers superb boat safaris. Abundant bird life, elephants and hippos are common. Time spent on the Shire River is a real novelty.
- Zomba Plateau is one of Timothy's favorites - This mountain offers superb views with the time to do some exploration that reflects your own interests. The gardens on the mountain reflect a real paradise!
- Mount Mulanje - Set amongst tea plantations and rising up from the surrounding countryside Mount Mulanje is a spectacle unto it 'self - Mount Mulanje is a Global Biosphere Reserve meaning it is an international important wildlife habitat where many of the species found here are found nowhere else in the world - e.g. The Mulanje Cedar tree that locals create wonderful 'chip carved' furniture from.
- Dedza Pottery - We will enjoy sunset from the top of Dedza Mountain. You will have plenty of time to select some pottery to either take with you or ship home from this world famous pottery.
- Nyika National Park - A stay here will take you to yet a different world - Sightings of Roan Antelope only found in a few locations in Africa and very good chances of seeing Leopard will make this excursion a true memory. Nyika is famed for or chids and flowers and miles of pristine undulating grasslands.
- (Overland option only) - Visits Vwaza Marsh for an overnight visit - A short walk and a night time safari will be a treat here - Great birding and hippo sightings are guaranteed along Lake Kazuni's shoreline - Hopefully the Elephants will wonder through camp to end another special day!
- (Overland option only) - Visits Livingstonia on return from Nyika National Park where we will stay at the Stone House and have plenty of time to explore the area for over a day.
