Welcome to Malawi! Upon arrival at the Lilongwe International Airport, you will meet your Malawian Style Guide. After greetings, we will start driving to Senga Bay – Salima for your boat transfer to Nankoma Island. At Nankoma Island, your accommodation will be at the Blue Zebra Lodge in safari tents for the first two nights.

The lodge offers 8 exclusive tented en-suite chalets, each overlooking the lake with crystal clear waters. The chalets are set in an unspoiled environment and guests are surrounded by nature and luxury. Guests are free to chill at the infinity pool, kayak around the islands or enjoy a game of volleyball as part of the full board package. The lodge also offers free use of snorkelling equipment to view the unique colourful fish that give the lodge its name and that inhabit every inch of the coastline.

After breakfast, you will be transferred by boat to the mainland. You will meet your Malawian Style guide and then we will start driving to Liwonde National Park. Your accommodation at the Liwonde National Park will be at Mvuu Camp.

Mvuu Camp overlooks a broad stretch of the Shire River (pronounced ‘Shiree’), with a profusion of hippos, crocodiles and the amazing birdlife of the Liwonde National Park. An impressive thatched dining and lounge area is situated nearby, offering a magnificent vista of the Shire River. Dinners are sometimes held under the stars in a specially constructed boma. Activities at Mvuu Camp revolve around boating trips on the Shire River and game drives (morning and afternoon/evening). If you are curious about the hidden spots of Liwonde National Park, go for a nature walk or a bike ride to discover the surroundings and get surprised by the unknown places of this park.

Enjoy your last morning at Mvuu Camp. After breakfast, we will drive out of the Liwonde National Park and towards Cape Maclear, heading straight to Kayak Africa for your 10:30 AM boat transfer. From Kayak Africa you can either kayak out to the stunning Mumbo Island or take the boat for a 45 min trip.

Mumbo Island is a deserted tropical island on the expansive waters of Lake Malawi. With amazing underwater boulders, around 500 species of colourful Cichlid fish and placid, clear water, the national park offers what many consider the best freshwater snorkelling and scuba diving in the world.

All good things must come to an end and today after breakfast you will be transferred to Lilongwe International Airport for your flight back home.
