Bush & Beach: This suggested itinerary for nature lovers combines Zambia's wildlife and landscape paradise with the beaches of the world-famous, crystal-clear Lake Malawi. You'll spend ample time in the national parks, enjoying extensive wildlife viewing in specially equipped safari vehicles, on walking safaris, and by boat – a unique way to observe animals, allowing you to approach them quickly and silently. One of the most picturesque wilderness areas on the African continent is undoubtedly the Lower Zambezi National Park, which has long remained largely untouched by tourism. Nature is also still wild and pristine in South Luangwa National Park. The concentration of wildlife around the Luangwa River is one of the highest in all of Africa. Huge colonies of scarlet bee-eaters overwinter on the sandy escarpments of the river. The park is also home to elephants, giraffes, leopards, buffalo, zebras, crocodiles, hippos, and much more. Accommodation options range from cozy chalets to nature-oriented tented camps (large tents with private bathrooms) to stylish lodges.

Malawi is considered one of the safest and friendliest countries in Africa, offering an authentic African experience. You'll visit Liwonde National Park and enjoy walking safaris with an experienced ranger, as well as exciting boat trips and game drives that extend into dusk. To conclude your journey, a boat will take you to Namkoma Island in Lake Malawi. Here, you'll encounter a vast tropical aquarium teeming with thousands of shimmering, colorful cichlids – perfect for snorkeling, kayaking, hiking, and relaxing on the beach.

As a pre-tour excursion, we recommend a trip to the biodiverse wilderness of Kafue National Park. The remote Busanga Plains (accessible only from July to October) are renowned for their excellent opportunities to spot lions, cheetahs, and leopards.
