Best Malawi Tours & Holidays

Malawi is a thin sliver of a country dominated by Lake Malawi, a massive, shimmering body of warm freshwater lined with miles of sandy beaches and offering activities ranging from kayaking, diving and snorkelling to sailing and fishing. If it’s a palm-fringed, hassle-free beach holiday you’re after, Malawi offers the whole package.

But Malawi is more than just its lake. Tall mountain peaks and peaceful, barely-visited wildlife reserves offer places of quiet and relaxation as well as the opportunity to enjoy a big game safari, and you’re always guaranteed a smile. We have numerous tours that include Malawi as part of a larger itinerary – a combination trip with Mozambique’s Indian Ocean islands or the Kruger Park works particularly well – contact us for a tailor-made itinerary.
