About this itinerary
After an exciting Zambian safari or Malawian adventure holiday there can be nothing better than extending your holiday and reflecting on the amazing wildlife encounters, stunning landscapes, and jaw-dropping sunsets you have experienced. Lesser known Lake Malawi is the perfect choice. Crystal clear waters and abundant marine life (though thankfully not crocs and hippos!) make the lake a surprisingly excellent snorkeling and diving destination. and swimming in fresh water from an idyllic island paradise is truly a unique experience.
Lake Malawi can be added to most Zambia and Malawi itineraries.
day 1-6 Nankoma Island
Board your flight from Mfuwe airport just outside South Luangwa National Park to Lilongwe, Malawi's capital. Direct flights also run from Lusaka.
On arrival you will be met by your driver and taken by road to the crystal clear waters of Lake Malawi, before making the final stretch of the journey by boat.
Spend your time snorkeling the crystal clear waters, exploring the island nature trails or simply relaxing by the pool or the beach for some well earned post safari down time.
Return by boat and road from Blue Zebra to Lilongwe international airport for your onward flight.
Accommodation: Blue Zebra Island Lodge
