KAFUNTA RIVER LODGE, South Luangwa National Park, Zambia            Jump to South Luangwa Camps

On arrival at Lilongwe Airport, you will transfer to your charter aircraft for the 50 minute flight westwards to the South Luangwa national Park in Zambia. After landing at Mfuwe, you are driven to Kafunta River Lodge.

Note: The quotes above include Kafunta; however, we will quote on any other Luangwa Valley property upon request.

The next three nights are spent enjoying the wildlife of the Luangwa in open 4x4 safari vehicles by day and at night, as well as on walking safaris. All the camps are between four and nine rooms - so they offer personal service and flexibility.

Wildlife highlights in the Luangwa include all the big game - Elephants, Lion, Buffalo, Wild Dog and in particular, Leopard.

MVUU WILDERNESS LODGE, Liwonde National Park, Malawi            Jump to Mvuu Wilderness Lodge

We transfer back to Mfuwe for the charter flight to Malawi, and then fly onto Liwonde National park, one of the most scenic and diverse game parks around. The park straddles the Shire River, the main drainage outlet for Lake Malawi. The attractive riverine forest, dominated by palm, is home to some of the best wildlife in the region - huge Crocodiles, countless pods of Hippo, Sable, Elephants and some of the best birding on the continent await visitors to this park.

Accommodation for the next two nights is at Mvuu Lodge - a 10 bedded, comfortable tented camp situated on the banks of the Shire River. Activities centre on wonderful game viewing and birding by boat, in open 4x4 vehicles, night drives and walks.

DAYS 6 - 7; (2 Nights)
KAYA MAWA LODGE, Likoma Island, Lake Malawi            Jump to Kaya Mawa Lodge

After a morning game activity, depart by light aircraft to Kiloma, flying over Lake Malawi and the scenic waters of the Cape Maclear Peninsula and the rugged uninhabited coastline and stunning forests of Mozambique.  A boat is waiting to transfer you round the island to the Lodge.

Kaya Mawa Lodge is comprised of ten stone and teak-framed, thatched cottages set into a granite headland. There is a honeymoon house tucked away on its own private island that is reached by boat or a wooden walkway. Each cottage faces the lake and has a 7- by 6-foot mahogany, four-poster bed, a shower, a sunken stone bathtub and a loo with a view. The view from the shower in the honeymoon suite defies description.  All the cottages have private terraces with direct access to the water, and some can only be reached by walkways built over the lake.

The stunning setting of the lodge and the unique comfort of the rooms means that many guests choose to make relaxation their main activity, but enough activities are on offer to keep guests busy.  Scuba (including Padi diving courses), snorkeling, swimming, sailing and visits to the local villages are part of the experience.
