Malawi
MALAWI SUMMED UP: The Malawians are known for being the friendliest and most charming Africa nation, known as the warm heart of Africa this country certainly lives up to that. The main attraction is the Lake which is absolutely magical, offering white sand, turquoise water and thousands of cyclid fish – the lodges are wonderfully remote and you feel as if you are Robinson Crusoe. Safaris here are in remote and impossibly beautiful locations but the game is not as dense as other parts of Africa, you go more for the scenery than the game. Malawi offers the perfect stop after a Zambian or Botswana safari, for those who cannot make the long journey to the coast from those countries, days spent on Lake Malawi are perfect.
BEACH EXTENSION: Combines very well with Mozambique, or a safari in Zambia.
MALAWI SAFARI LOCATION: Malawi sits with Mozambique to the East, Zambia to the West and Tanzania to the North.
CLIMATE: Generally rains come between December and March, with June to August being cooler drier months, September and October begin to get hotter again, with November being variable.
TYPICAL LANDSCAPE: Vast open plains and grassy plateaus, stunning Lake Malawi offers Robinson Crusoe type beach paradise.
