Book a luxury Malawi vacation and experience the countries wonderfully varied topography, from the great rift valley and its high mountainous plateaus to the gently rolling Shire Highlands that lie to the south of Lake Malawi.

Despite being landlocked, this large crystal-clear lake on Malawi’s eastern border is dotted with secluded islands and untouched beaches on its western shore, adding to its natural beauty. The lake is the third largest and second deepest in Africa and is the habitat of more species of fish than any other body of freshwater. Malawi is a small and friendly country bordered by Tanzania to the north, Zambia to the northwest and Mozambique to the east and south. The national parks in Malawi offer varied species and beautiful scenery, in which Malawi has two sites listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List; Lake Malawi National Park and the Chongoni Rock Art Area.

Scott Dunn’s highlights for Malawi:

  • Take a private boat trip out into Lake Malawi and spend the day in pure isolation, snorkeling off the boat in Lake Malawi’s clear and warm waters, home to an incredible number of fish.
  • Stay on the remote Likoma, a tiny and secluded island in the middle of Lake Malawi.
  • Explore the Liwonde National Park, for a chance to spot hippos and crocodiles, bathing in the Shire River.
