Visit Africa this Easter and explore Lake Malawi, Liwonde and South Luangwa. You’ll begin your trip at the lake, where you can spend your days relaxing on the beach (and at the bar) or, if sunbathing isn’t for you, you can take to the water; kayak around the islands, snorkel, or try your hand at wakeboarding. Cape Maclear is a truly excellent destination where there really is something for everyone. Whilst at the lake you will also stay at Mumbo Island  – Mumbo Island offers an exclusive escape on an otherwise deserted island. 

After 4 nights at the lake, it’s time to visit Malawi’s most loved park; Liwonde. Following 2 nights in the bush, we head back to the lake, this time to Mumbo Island. You will spend 2 nights on Mumbo then head for the South Luangwa. South Luangwa is an awe-inspiring safari destination. It is home to big (and small) cats, over 400 bird species, indigenous Zebra, an abundance of Elephant as well as 50+ other animal species! You will stay at Chichele Presidential Lodge, a grand colonial style lodge with beautiful rooms and stunning views of open plains. 

Malawian Style welcomes you to Malawi! Upon arrival at Lilongwe International Airport, you will be welcomed by your Malawian Style guide to transfer you to your lodge. You will be accommodated at The Funky cichlid the first two nights on your tour. 

The Funky Cichlid is named after the awesome little multi-coloured fish found in Lake Malawi called Cichlids (‘sick-lids’). A cheap & cheerful Backpacker & Beach Bar with basic but comfortable accommodation and a popular restaurant. The perfect place for adventurers to unwind, explore & have fun!

Today after breakfast you will have a boat transfer to Mumbo Island for the night.

The island lies 10km north-west of Cape Maclear. The camp comprises five units (two twin tents and three twin reed chalets) perched on rocks high above the water shaded by lush foliage, each with bucket showers, ‘eco-loos’ and wooden deck. A hammock provides a comfortable spot to take in the idyllic Lake view. A twin-tented family unit is tucked into the forest near the main beach. There is a dining area, bar and watersport gazebo of timber and thatch.

In the heart of Area 12, 5 minute walk from The Four seasons centre, 15 minute walk from The Golden Peacock Shopping Centre. City Centre is about 20 minute walk, We are a few kilometres from Kumbali and have a supermarket 50 metres from the house. The house has 6 staff to help cook, clean and look after you. Our home is well furnished and comfortable, with a pool, lovely garden, good social areas, modern kitchen, fast wifi, DSTV and really is a top spot.

We now head to South Luangwa National Park, after breakfast you will depart for Chichele Lodge. Here you will enjoy the amazing life in the bush without the hustle of the city for the next four nights.

Sanctuary Chichele Presidential Lodge was originally built for Kenneth Kaunda, the former Zambian president, in the 1970s. This historic property was recently carefully restored to maintain the original colonial style. A majestic arched entrance leads you into a huge colonial-style lounge and outside the grand dining room, a long veranda stretches with views down the valley to the Luangwa River. The main area features a comfortable lounge, intimate fireplace and bar area.
