Best of Malawi - 12 days
This combination of three contrasting elements brings together the best that this welcoming country has to offer. Although not renowned for its wildlife, Malawi nevertheless has a lot to offer. From fascinating Majete Game Reserve, finally restored to its former glory after years of destructive poaching to Liwonde National Park as the country's foremost wildlife attraction. Finally, the beaches of the 'Lake of Stars', Lake Malawi, are an ideal spot to enjoy some restorative relaxation. All three offer more than enough species diversity to keep avid birders fully occupied.
