Classic Malawi

The ever popular safari and beach combination works perfectly in Malawi as you go for 4x4 game drives and enjoy lakeside living

12 days from £5,100pp plus international flights.

This Malawi holiday is a perfect safari beach combination along with wildlife viewing in Majete and Liwonde, a scenic stay on the Satemwas tea estate and relaxing lake side, an insight into Malawi's diverse landscapes.

  • Game drives in Liwonde & Majete
  • Visit a beautiful tea estate
  • Bush walks and great wildlife
  • Boating on the Shire River
  • Superb diving, snorkelling and kayaking
  • Nature walks and bird watching

This is a classic mix of safari and beach, combining busy days wildlife spotting in Liwonde National Park and Majete Wildlife Reserve, beautiful scenery along the Shire River and time to chill on Lake Malawi. This is a 12-day gem of a holiday to this beautiful country.

Malawi is small and you'll travel by road, allowing you to view varied scenery and catch a glimpse of village life. Once at each destination you'll have plenty of time to settle in, starting with two nights wildlife spotting in Majete before continuing on to a working tea estate, then two nights on safari at Liwonde and four nights at two different locations on Lake Malawi. Accommodation is comfortable rather than luxurious, and the friendly service and smiling faces of the staff will soon make you feel right at home. This can also be an excellent family holiday.

Safari activities are varied, with a choice of 4x4 game drives, night drives, boat trips and guided walks all led by experienced guides. At Lake Malawi you can choose to simply relax, or go swimming and perhaps try snorkelling or kayaking.
