Bush & beach adventure
Malawi boasts undiscovered scenery, wildlife strongholds and adventurous activities to rival any of those of her better known neighbours. The Great Rift Valley has gauged an immense chasm down her eastern flank which now, brimming with crystal clear water, forms Africa’s third-largest lake: Lake Malawi.
Lake Malawi holds a greater array of freshwater fish species than any other lake on Earth and the clear blue waters swarm with colourful cichlids. The warm salt-free water and beautiful beaches make it a magnet for those seeking year-round scuba diving, snorkelling, water-skiing, sailing, kayaking or swimming. Malawi’s National Parks are home to large herds of elephant, hippo, big cats and plenty of plains game, and sit at the heart of some of Africa’s most successful conservation stories. Majete Wildlife Reserve has seen reintroduced populations black rhino flourish while the relocation of lions into Liwonde National Park, funded through Leonardo DiCaprio’s charity foundation, was heralded by the international press.
With a relaxed pace of life, friendly locals, plenty of wildlife, idyllic lakeshore beaches and wonderfully low visitor numbers, Malawi offers an exquisite ideal ‘Bush & Beach’ safari for those in the know.
