Malawi Safari

On a safari in Malawi, there are many beautiful displays of nature to behold; forests, mountains and rural villages, but Malawi is best known for the amazing Lake Malawi, or 'Lake of Stars,' as explorer David Livingstone named it, an enormous freshwater inland sea. While on a Malawian safari, travellers will find the rustic resorts on the lakeshore to be the ideal hideaway to kick back in the sand and watch the sun sink into the lake, as fishermen return to shore with the day's catch. These are just a few of the many reasons to place a safari to Malawi at the top of the travel wish list.

There are many small rustic resorts along this freshwater lake where you can kick back on the sand, and enjoy the perfect sunset over this lake. Malawi will offer you the perfect sub-tropical climate, allowing you ample time to soak up the sun and work on that tan. Lilongwe is the largest city in Malawi, as well as the capital city. Malawi plays host to just over 12 million people, with English and Chichewa being the main languages.

Most of your time in Malawi will be spent enjoying the white beaches and warm waters of Lake Malawi. Lake Malawi is also known as "the lake of stars", offering an abundance of water activities. With the staggering amount of 500 species of fish, this lake makes for an excellent spot for freshwater diving after meeting and greeting all the welcoming locals.

Cool and dry temperatures can be expected during May through to August, hot and dry weather can be expected from September to mid-November, while hot and wet weather can be expected from December to April.
