A sample Zambia itinerary

 

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 Zambia.

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 short trip we organised for a family who had not been to Africa before and wanted to see ‘real Africa’ and lots of game. For an example of a longer Malawi / Zambia safari, please take a look at the Malawi itineraries page.

 

Day 1 Arrive in Lilongwe and stay overnight in a colonial style hotel in the old part of the city.
   
Days 2-3 Vehicle handover and full briefing. Head south to Liwonde National Park for a two day stay and plenty of game and bird viewing.
   
Days 4-5 Set off up the side of Lake Malawi . Leave the vehicle and head off for 2 nights at a very nice, diminutive eco-lodge on an island. Days here can be spent snorkeling, kayaking, swimming, wind-surfing and relaxing in the sunshine.
   
Day 6 Return to the shore to collect the vehicle and continue north to Viphya Plateau for an overnight stay, breaking the journey north.
   
Days 7-8 Head to Vwasa Marsh to spend two nights based at a small, well run lodge and explore this pretty park
   
Days 9-10 Drive north to the gorgeous Nyika Plateau where you stay in your own little house with a big roaring fire, set amongst the pine trees. No predators means plenty of riding / walking.
   
Day 11 A long drive back to Lilongwe to stay at a lovely, family-run farm on the outskirts of town before returning home the next day.

*If preferred, you can camp every night of this itinerary except for Nyika, where the low temperatures at night make it a less comfortable option.
