Remember, we create individual, tailor-made itineraries
so please don’t feel you have to stick to the following. It is just
one example of the many trips we can arrange in Malawi.
Our sample itineraries for Zambia and Malawi are combined, since
most people like to visit both countries as part of the same safari.
However, we are equally happy to organise itineraries for just one
country so please ask if this is your preferred option.
Here is a journey we arranged for a couple who have done several
Safari Drive trips to Africa and wanted something really different
to their previous holidays. For an example of a shorter Malawi /
Zambia safari, please take a look at the Zambia itineraries page.

friendly hotel. |
