Lake Malawi, Nyika Plateau and the Liwonde Wetlands

Malawi Safari

A land of towering mountains which surround one of Africa's great lakes, this is one of the most friendly countries in Africa.

The Nyika Plateau which rises to over 8,000ft can provide breathtaking walking and horseback safaris, while Lake Malawi itself has several high quality beach hotels , some set off little islands, where you can enjoy snorkelling, diving, sailing and waterskiing, providing a pleasant few days break after a safari in Zambia perhaps.

At the southern tip of Lake Malawi are the Liwonde wetlands, in some ways resembling the Okavango Delta and from Mvuu Safari Camp you can enjoy boating, walks and game drives by open vehicle, seeing elephant, rhinoceros and antelope, and over 350 species of beautiful birds.

The best time to visit Malawi is from April to the end of October.

Why choose Malawi?
Many people find a week on the shores of Lake Malawi makes a perfect end to a central African safari. The April to October dry season matches the ideal time for game viewing in neighbouring Zambia.
