4 day Liwonde National Park and Lake Malawi

Welcome to Malawi! We begin your adventure with a comfortable pick-up from your accommodation in Lilongwe and embark on a scenic journey southward through Dedza towards the enchanting Liwonde National Park. As we cross the Shire River, we enter one of the country's most celebrated wildlife havens. Liwonde National Park, a true gem, offers a wealth of wildlife and natural beauty. We make our way to Liwonde Safari Camp, who are included in the park fences and enjoy plenty wildlife encounters.

We also spend the 2nd night here and look forward to passing through diverse landscapes that include the winding Shire River, and the expansive eastern upper Shire Plain. The river teems with thousands of hippos and crocodiles, while the park is home to several hundred majestic elephants and a variety of antelope species as well as recently re-introduced rhino, lion and cheetah. As time allows, arriving at the camp in time for an afternoon game drive, you'll have the opportunity to experience the park's incredible wildlife up close from the comfort of an open vehicle safari. An optional boat cruise or additional game drive are also available.

Today, we continue our journey northward towards stunning Lake Malawi, a breathtaking natural wonder that spans one-fifth of Malawi's total landmass. Stretching 575km in length and up to 85km at its widest point, this vast inland sea covers an impressive 23,000 square km. Fed by 14 rivers, yet drained by only one - the Shire River - Lake Malawi is a true marvel of nature. One of its most remarkable features is its incredible biodiversity, with over 350 species of endemic fish, making it a paradise for nature lovers. Cape Maclear is a popular destination for water sports enthusiasts. Whether you're into water-skiing, snorkeling, or kayaking, the calm waters and sandy shores make it the perfect retreat. With its rocky coves, tropical fish, and serene atmosphere, this peaceful haven offers a perfect escape for those seeking both adventure and tranquility by the water.

All good things have to end and today, after Breakfast we return to Lilongwe.
