Introduction

This comprehensive 22 day tour provides the very best of Malawi and also includes a 4 day Zambia safari. This tour is perfect for those really looking to delve into Malawian landscapes and culture with the added bonus of one of the best game reserves in Africa - South Luangwa. 

This tour has so much to offer including informative game drives through the famous South Luangwa National Park, cooking Nsima in the Dzalanyama community, walking through the rolling green fields of tea in Southern Malawi, kayaking through the crystal clear waters of Cape Maclear then exploring your own private Island for the night, traditional dances and stories from the cultural and historical Mua Mission, walking safaris in Nkohtakota Wildlife Reserve, sinking your toes into the crystal white sands of Chinteche Beach, and walking across the stunning Nyika landscape! 

So much to see and do and so little time.....
