Itinerary

100% customisable for you

To break up the safari section of this trip and introduce you to new areas of the South Luangwa, today you will move to a new camp in the South Luangwa. The transfer from camp to camp will be a game drive of sorts in itself and, as it will be during the day, you'll see a different side to the bush than you have so far.

When you arrive, settle in to your new surroundings with an afternoon stroll around the surrounding area with your guide and then lunch. This evening you will head out on the evening game drive and experience how much a safari can vary with a new guide and new landscapes to keep you excited.

The next three days will be spent relaxing and enjoying the slower pace of life on Likoma Island. When surrounded by the calm waters of Lake Malawi and several white sandy beaches fringed by baobab and mango trees, it's easy to slip into a pattern of long lazy days here. For those who prefer to stay a little more active snorkelling and scuba diving are both available, and there are several sailing boats and various water sports including stand-up paddle boarding and kite surfing on offer. On land activities include mountain biking, quad biking to explore the island, visiting the lively harbour and its fish markets and even the opportunity to watch a local football match. Then enjoy a spa treatment in the open-sided spa hut which is perched on the rocky knoll over the lake. If your stay includes a Sunday then we would also always recommend visiting the local cathedral to join in on a Sunday service for a unique experience.

In the evenings relax on the comfy sofas in the thatched, open-sided bar and sip sundowner drinks before indulging in plenty of fresh seafood and flavourful local specialities at the beachside restaurant.
