Itinerary

Day 1 :
LILONGWE
Resting on the banks of the Lilongwe River, the sprawling, bustling city of Lilongwe serves as the capital of Malawi. It is the largest city in Malawi and is the economic and transport hub of the country. It features thriving markets, lush green spaces, and rich cultural heritage. While the city has all of the twentieth-century urban developments, it retains the appearance of a traditional African settlement. The Lilongwe Wildlife Centre, in the heart of Lilongwe, provides a sanctuary for local wildlife seeking refuge. Other sights worth seeing include the Kumbali Cultural Centre, offering the opportunity to view traditional Malawian dancing and drumming; as well as the nearby Chongoni Rock Art Area featuring over 127 sites displaying ancient rock art.
Dedza District is a large area in Malawi’s Central Region, best known for its four forest reserves. Of these, the most exceptional is Chongoni, which encompasses an archaeological area featuring over 100 ancient rock art sites. Scientists believe these were made in the Stone and Iron Ages, constituting the most significant collection of cave paintings in Central Africa. Dedza Mountain is a popular hiking spot - it stands at over 2 000 metres and takes about two hours to reach the top. At the base of the mountain lies the capital of the region, Dedza City, surrounded by forested hills. It is a convenient place to stock up on essentials and buy local pottery, for which the area is famous.
Nankoma Island is part of the Marelli Archipelago in southern Lake Malawi, where the waters are particularly rich in brightly coloured tropical fish known as cichlids. Swimming and snorkeling with them is an amazing experience, as they flash by in iridescent shades. Incredible birdlife is also evident on the island, with species such as hornbills, kingfishers, paradise flycatchers and owls, as well as cormorants and fish eagles inhabiting the lake shore. Active travellers will enjoy the chance to kayaking around the island, take a boat trip to neighbouring islands or relax on a sundowner cruise.
Day 4 :
NKHOTAKOTA
Nkhotakota is a tranquil town on the shores of Lake Malawi in central Malawi. It is surrounded by the hilly terrains of Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve, the largest and oldest wildlife reserve near Malawi, home to mammals such as lion and elephant, as well as a fantastic array of birdlife. The village is most famous for the Livingstone Tree, where it is said that the renowned explorer Dr David Livingstone met a notorious slave trader to implore him to stop the heinous trade. Guided walking tours in the reserve are an exciting way to get up close and personal with some of its animals. There are also hot springs, rivers and waterfalls within easy reach of Nkhotakota.
