Explore Malawi
One small country, endless discovery: safaris, a lake like an inland sea, misty mountains and the warmest welcome in Africa.
01 — Elephants on the Shire, Big Five in Majete
Wildlife & Safari
Malawi's parks are some of Africa's great conservation comebacks — quiet, uncrowded and full of life. On our Malawi safari tours you can cruise past hippos and elephants on the Shire River, or track the Big Five on foot and by vehicle.
Destinations
Liwonde National Park
Boat safaris on the Shire River among hippos, crocodiles and elephant herds, plus game drives for rhino, lion and cheetah.
Majete Wildlife Reserve
Malawi's Big Five reserve in the lower Shire Valley — rugged, wild and rarely busy.

Miombo woodland and rivers, home to one of Africa’s largest elephant translocations.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site with sandy bays, granite islands and the best snorkeling on the lake.
