Zambia - Lake Malawi - Victoria Falls - South Luangwa
From Zambia to Lake Malawi
On your way...
Victoria Falls - Victoria Falls, among the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. Two kilometres (one-and-a-half miles) wide, they can be seen from over 20 kilometres (12 miles) away and heard from over 40 kilometres (25 miles) away! You can walk along small paths above the abyss. Despite its popularity, the site remains wild and unspoilt, with lush vegetation, forest trails and suspension bridges. Highlight.South Luangwa National Park - Located in the east of the country, it is the most beautiful park in the country with its wooded savannah vegetation and dense forests. The Luangwa River is a prime habitat for hippos and crocodiles; its canals and banks absorb the annual floods and create waterholes that attract buffaloes, zebras, antelopes and leopards. You can watch wildlife during a walking safari, night or day, to get as close as possible to elephants and other animals.
The magnificent Lake Malawi - Crystal-clear 26°C water, fine sand, and a dhow on the horizon. The decor is set as solidly as the parasol. With a snorkel in your mouth, you dip your head underwater to watch the colourful cichlids swim by. Despite appearances, the shores of Lake Malawi, the ninth largest lake in the world, are 800 km (497 miles) from the Indian Ocean. After a horseback ride beneath the mango and baobab trees, accompanied by zebras, head to the beach to set off on a catamaran. The other treasure here is the people: to experience the warm Malawian welcome, visit the many villages that line the lake at market time. In the evening, return to tranquillity on the terrace overlooking the water. A taste of sweet paradise.
Itinerary
100% customisable for you
Via Johannesburg
A private transfer brings you to a characterful lodge for a two-night stay, where the decor blends African spirit and colonial charm. Here, you dine beneath magnificent starry skies and sleep in a romantic cottage, with Victoria Falls just a short distance away.
Board a light aircraft for your flight, then settle in for three nights at an charming camp inspired by the spirit of Out of Africa: open-air showers, private terraces overlooking the savannah, and dinners shared around the camp-fire. With all the magic of night-time sounds as animals scurry to their places in the bush. The lodge features just seven tents, guaranteeing privacy and an intimate atmosphere, while offering exceptional safari experiences, whether on foot or by game drive. The area is also renowned for its leopard sightings. Take it all in. Watch the scene unfold.
Domestic flight to Malawi, then on to Likoma Island. Private transfer and check-in for 5 nights at a unique eco-resort.
Crystal-clear water at around 26°C, a secluded beach, rocking chairs with cushions, a table set with the day’s catch, a Decléor spa to unwind - all of this is more than enough to ensure your happiness on the shores of this unexpected little tropical sea.
For those feeling energetic - Kitesurfing, hiking or cycling, sailing, water skiing… If you’d like to do more, just ask — you can choose to explore a nearby wildlife reserve or even join a local community football match!
