Travel Itinerary

The First Day -

Welcome to the beautiful destination of Malawi! Upon arrival in Blantyre, the bustling hub of the country, you will immediately sense the welcoming atmosphere known as the "Warm Heart of Africa." Stepping off the plane, you will be met by a friendly representative from Baseline Travel, who will be there to assist you. Forget about navigating your way around, as we have taken care of your smooth transfer. Get settled in at the cozy and delightful Leslie Lodge, where you will be staying for the night. Take some time to relax, maybe take a refreshing swim in the pool, or simply unwind and look forward to the exciting adventures that await you. The evening is yours to savor a delicious dinner and get ready for the upcoming journey!

The Second Day - Embracing Nature - Tranquil Safari Experience at Mvuu Camp

Following a delightful morning meal at Leslie Lodge, the real excitement kicks off! Prepare to exchange urban landscapes for breathtaking wilderness as we head east towards the iconic Liwonde National Park. Your accommodation for the next two evenings will be the well-known Mvuu Camp, perfectly situated along the shores of the Shire River. Brace yourself for an unforgettable safari adventure! Mvuu, which translates to "hippo" in Chichewa, lives up to its title by offering amazing sightings of these majestic creatures right from your lodge by the river. During the upcoming pair of days, you will immerse yourself in the essence of Malawian wildlife through exhilarating activities. As night falls, take in the sounds of the wilderness – the grumbling of hippos, the songs of nighttime birds, and the distant roar of a lion, perhaps. Relish delectable meals beneath the twinkling stars, swapping stories of your extraordinary wildlife encounters. At Mvuu Camp, you are not merely observing nature; you are experiencing it firsthand.

The third day - Transitioning from Forest to Shoreline - Enjoying Serenity at Makokola Resort

Say goodbye to the incredible experiences at Mvuu Camp as we move on to a different Malawian gem! Following one last delicious breakfast by the Shire River, your Baseline Travel guide will be there to welcome you for a comfortable and picturesque journey north. Get ready for a leisurely three-hour drive that promises to keep the excitement alive. Our experienced guide will point out interesting sights, provide insights into local culture, and answer any queries you may have, ensuring that the trip itself becomes an integral part of your exploration of Malawi's varied landscapes. Our final stop: the renowned Club Makokola, situated on the sun-kissed shores of Lake Malawi. Over the next two nights, get ready to soak in the tranquility of Africa's third-largest lake. Here, you'll have the opportunity to unwind and partake in aquatic activities. Following the exhilarating safari, these two days offer a perfect mix of relaxation and further exploration.

The Fourth Day - The Allure of a Tropical Haven – Blue Zebra Island Retreat

Start your day feeling rejuvenated and full of energy, all set for a delightful breakfast at Club Makokola. This morning meal will prepare you for the next exciting leg of your journey through Malawi. Your expert guide from Baseline Travel will be there to accompany you on a relaxing and picturesque five-hour drive towards Salima. This road trip isn't just about getting from one place to another; it's an opportunity to deepen your exploration of the country. Your guide will regale you with captivating stories about the passing scenery, local culture, and maybe even some traditional Malawian folklore. Take in the beautiful sights as we pass through quaint villages and ever-changing landscapes. Upon reaching Salima, a brief boat ride will transport you to the secluded haven of Blue Zebra Island Lodge, where you'll spend the next two nights. Located on a pristine private island within Lake Malawi National Park, this eco-lodge offers a unique blend of adventure, relaxation, and close encounters with nature that you won't find anywhere else.

The Fifth Day - Goodbye Malawi – See You Later

Witness the sunrise over Lake Malawi on your last morning and relish a leisurely breakfast at Blue Zebra Island Lodge, soaking in the peace of this beautiful island retreat. Upon checkout, a member of the Baseline Travel team will be on hand to assist you in your journey back to the mainland and onwards to the airport. Enjoy a pleasant and picturesque two-hour drive to Lilongwe International Airport (LLW). Even as you depart, Malawi's natural beauty continues to captivate, offering stunning views along the route. Take a moment to contemplate the diverse experiences you've had, from exciting safaris and tranquil lake escapades to immersive cultural encounters. Your Baseline Travel guide will ensure you reach the airport in good time for your next adventure. We appreciate your decision to discover the charms of the "Warm Heart of Africa" with us. May you depart with fond memories and a longing to return!
