Your tour starts in
Lilongwe - the capital city of Malawi. A spectacular drive over
the escarpment takes you to Monkey Bay. Relax time - on the
beach, go fishing, snorkelling, take a walk through the local
village. Here we take out the fishing rods and enjoy the easy
life. There are a few interesting day trips which we will offer
for those who are looking for some adrenalin. The world’s first
freshwater National Park is situated at Cape MaClear, and offers great opportunity to snorkelers
whilst the bird lovers will have the photographic
opportunities of fish eagles, cormorants and hamerkops.
From Monkey Bay we move on
to Liwonde - a beautiful park situated on the Shire River. Game
viewing, sunset cruises, barbecues. Possibly the best bird
watching will be had at here, where the river attracts varied birdlife –
and even the Pel’s fishing owl is often seen.
A short drive to the Zomba Plateau. Mountain
scenery and a fantastic place for walking. Then it is on to
Blantyre, the commercial centre of Malawi. A one-night stop to
re-supply. The next day a border crossing into Mozambique
and then back roads to the Zambezi River. We overnight at a
small lodge overlooking the river.
Heading into Mozambique we
take on the challenge of the Gorongoza National Park. With its 1.2
million hectares of open plains, bush, swamp and waterways,
Gorongosa is truly a small piece of forgotten paradise. Gorongoza is
undergoing a period of transformation and has many projects underway
to re-instate it to its former glory. |
