Zambia and Malawi: Safari and Freshwater Beach

There is something magical about a paddling safari, seeing things from a different angle and in near silence changes your perspective of the scale of not only the animals you encounter but also the scenery they inhabit. There are also very few places where you can do it like this and with a professional guide you won’t miss a thing whether it is an elephant bathing or a tiny brown-hooded kingfisher.

Zambia has been home to walking safaris since the 1960’s and the South Luangwa is one of the very best places to experience African landscape on foot. With your knowledgeable guide leading the way, you traverse diverse landscapes, from open plains to dense forests. Every step brings new discoveries – from tracking animal footprints to observing intricate insect life. You may encounter herds of elephants, graceful giraffes, or even elusive leopards, all from a thrillingly close distance.

Embarking on a night drive safari in Zambia is an exhilarating adventure into the heart of the African wilderness after dusk. Guided by headlights, you enter a realm alive with nocturnal creatures. Lions’ roars, hyenas’ calls, and crickets’ chirps fill the air. In the moonlit savannah, you might spot lions on the hunt or elephants gracefully moving. As the night deepens, encounters with leopards and genets add to the excitement.

Relax on the shores of Lake Malawi, or try your hand a variety of watersports, cycling through local villages or hiking to spectacular viewpoints. Discover an amazing underwater world which is said to have more native fish species than any other lake in the world and keep your eyes open for fish eagles overhead. The perfect spot to take in all that you’ve seen on an amazing journey.
