Day 3: Set Off for the Luangwa River

Location: Luangwa Parks Area, Zambia
Days 4-5: Explore the South Luangwa

Drive from the Luangwa River to the remote and untouched South Luangwa where you will spend 2 nights on the riverbanks.

You reach your campsite in the late afternoon with time to relax and have a look around this beautiful setting. The concentration of game around the Luangwa River is among the most intense in Africa.

You can choose to explore the area on morning or night game drives, or on a game walk accompanied by a professional local guide. Alternatively you can relax by the pool.

Location: Luangwa Parks Area, Zambia
Day 6: Visit the Luwawa Forest

You leave South Luangwa early and cross the Zambia / Malawi border. Heading north, you enter the highlands of Malawi and spend the night at Luwawa Forest - part of the largest man-made forest in Africa.

If you're visiting in the summer, hire a small sail boat and sail on the dam, or set off on one of the many hiking trails.

Other activities on offer include fishing and mountain biking.

Days 7-8: Camp in Central & Northern Malawi

The lake is nearly 600km long and well-known for its golden shores and stunning natural scenery. If you feel energetic there are endless leisure and water sport activities to keep you busy, including scuba-diving, parasailing, windsurfing, fishing, canoeing, horse riding and hiking.

Alternatively, soak up the atmosphere and relax in one of the most scenic and memorable holiday destinations in Africa. Your evenings are spent beside the lake's tranquil waters.
