10 Nights
‘Big five’ in Majete Reserve. Beach time on the shores of Lake Malawi. An innovative, fresh Africa experience! Walking safaris. Kayaking and watersports at Pumulani. Colourful fish in Lake Malawi.
This is the ultimate combination of safari and beach in Malawi. Majete Wildlife Reserve in southern Malawi, spans 70 000 hectares and is the country’s only Big Five game reserve. A noteworthy conservation success story, the park, which had most of its resident wildlife poached, was successfully transformed by Afrian Parks to what is now a superb destination for wildlife enthusiasts. We recommend spending 4 nights at Mkulumzi Lodge before travelling to the shores of Lake Malawi to enjoy time at magnificent Pumulani Lodge.
