Zambia & Malawi Bush & Beach

Stepping off the plane and almost directly into the African bush is the best way to start a short safari in Zambia. Mfuwe airport is the gateway into all regions of South Luangwa National Park that has a terrific range of camps and lodges for all budgets, many hidden away in remote areas of the reserve that are real gems. You can be guaranteed wildlife and even a short safari can provide exceptional experiences in nature. 

Enjoy wild dog and lion sightings, or embrace the large herds of hippos in the Luangwa River, watch from a hide the activities of the carmine bee-eaters, seek out the famous leopards of the valley and of course, enjoy bush breakfasts or sundowners, quintessential safari experiences. Perhaps spend time in a camp watching elephants cross the river or enhance your senses and take a bush walk in the home of African walking safaris to learn more about the surrounding environment. South Luangwa offers a diverse safari experience.

Counter the sights and sounds of the bush with some time soaking in the sun and freshwaters of Lake Malawi from the wonderful Kaya Mawa on Likoma Island. This beachside boutique hotel on a small friendly island is the perfect place to relax and forget about the outside world for a few days. Genuinely, it makes the best ending to a safari without having to travel to the Indian Ocean coast.
