Introduction

This safari adventure uniquely combines the wildlife-rich South Luangwa National Park with the serene beauty of Lake Malawi.

In South Luangwa National Park, located at the conclusion of the Great Rift Valley, you'll find a true haven for wildlife enthusiasts. This park is celebrated for its high-density game populations and rich biodiversity. The Luangwa River, a lifeline of the park, shapes the landscape into a dynamic ecosystem comprising oxbow lagoons, woodlands, and plains. Here, you have the opportunity to witness large herds of elephants and buffaloes, alongside frequent sightings of lions, leopards, giraffes, and hippos. For bird lovers, the park is a paradise with over 450 bird species, offering an exceptional birdwatching experience.

Pumulani, situated on the Nankumba Peninsula, is known for its stunning location on the shores of Lake Malawi. The area, which is adjacent to Lake Malawi National Park, is particularly famous for its cichlid fish, unique to this region. The park's distinction as a World Heritage Site since 1984 underscores its global ecological significance. The crystal-clear waters and pristine beaches of Lake Malawi provide a tranquil contrast to the exhilarating wildlife encounters in South Luangwa.

Activities in South Luangwa include immersive walking safaris and exciting day and night game drives. For a cultural experience, the Kawaza Village Tour and the Tribal Textiles tour offer insights into local life and artisan crafts. A visit to the Chipembele Wildlife Orphanage is also a heartwarming experience.

At Pumulani, the activities are as diverse as the scenery. Enjoy birdwatching, kayaking, and sailing in the tranquil waters of Lake Malawi. For the adventurous, there’s fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling, water-skiing, and fun-tubing. Sunset cruises and picnic tours offer relaxed ways to enjoy the lake's beauty, while a village tour provides cultural immersion.

This safari presents a well-rounded journey, balancing thrilling wildlife encounters with peaceful lakeside relaxation, perfect for those seeking a diverse African adventure.
