Combining Zambia with Malawi

Safari and beach holidays are becoming increasingly popular but the logistics of getting from remote game reserves to pristine beaches can be tiring.
Why not enjoy a refreshing alternative - a new 11 night ‘Zambalawi’ itinerary, pairing Zambia and Malawi’s most secluded safari spots with the tropical waters of Lake Malawi. The new 11 night itinerary includes some of Africa’s most intimate, owner-run properties in top game viewing spots, rounded off with a few nights relaxing on the shores of Malawi’s ‘calendar lake’. The trip includes a visit to Malawi’s hottest new luxury eco venture, Tongole Wilderness Lodge. Set in the breathtakingly beautiful Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve, Tongole has just four luxury chalets overlooking the Bua River, Tongole will appeal to those who seek an exceptional wilderness experience in one of Africa’s - and possibly Malawi’s last - truly unspoilt wildlife areas.
