RIFT VALLEY EXPLORER
KEY DETAILS
OVERVIEW
Rift Valley Explorer is a 10 day luxury small group guided safari that traverses the central region of Malawi visiting three of its most fascinating regions of this diverse and friendly country. Your safari starts on arrival into Lilongwe where you will be met and transferred to a local lodge for an overnight stay. Your journey proper starts the next morning as you are driven south to the incredible Zomba Plateau, close to the old capital of Malawi, before swinging north to Liwonde National Park for game viewing. You finish with some relaxing days on a private island close to the southern lake shore of Lake Malawi – a national park and the third largest and one of the prettiest freshwater lakes in Africa.
The safari has set departure dates from March to November and has a maximum participation of eight guests and a minimum of just two.
