Discover two extraordinary countries on a journey<\/strong> that combines spectacular landscapes, rich cultural heritage and unforgettable wildlife encounters. From the dramatic scenery of the Rift Valley<\/strong> to historic colonial settlements recognised as UNESCO World Heritage Sites<\/strong>, from thrilling safaris to relaxing days by the ocean, Malawi and Mozambique<\/strong> offer an exceptional blend of nature, history<\/strong> and authentic travel experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To showcase the extraordinary natural and cultural diversity of Malawi and Mozambique<\/strong>, we have designed a varied ten-day itinerary<\/strong> combining wildlife, landscapes, history and relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The journey begins in Majete Wildlife Reserve<\/strong>, located in the Lower Shire Valley at the southern end of the Rift Valley. Majete is one of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife restoration success stories<\/strong> and an ideal destination for travellers hoping to encounter the Big Five: lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo and black rhinoceroses<\/strong>. During daytime and night game drives, we will search for these iconic species while also exploring the reserve’s wider biodiversity. Cheetahs, African wild dogs, zebras, warthogs, giraffes<\/strong> and numerous antelope species<\/strong> are among the animals that can be encountered. A boat safari <\/strong>offers another unique perspective on the reserve and its wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The second stage of the journey takes us to Mount Mulanje Forest Reserve<\/strong>. Our main base is located at the foot of the mountain, and from here we will introduce you to the tea plantations<\/strong> that blanket the surrounding hills. According to local traditions, Mount Mulanje is a mountain of mystery and legend. It is also recognised as one of Malawi’s most important biodiversity<\/strong> hotspots, which you will experience first-hand during guided walks<\/strong> through the forest. You will also have the opportunity to visit local villages and markets<\/strong> and enjoy a swim in the beautiful Mbiya Pools<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leaving Mulanje behind, we cross into Mozambique and travel through the northern part of the country towards the historic Island of Mozambique<\/strong>. For centuries, this small island served as a crossroads for trade routes linking Africa<\/strong>, Arabia, India and Europe. Today, its extraordinary cultural heritage<\/strong> is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/strong>. During your stay, you will have time to discover both sides of the island: the historic Stone Town<\/strong> and the more recent Makuti Town<\/strong>. Relax on the beach, snorkel among tropical fish and, depending on the season, enjoy a whale-watching<\/strong> excursion along the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This itinerary<\/strong> offers the perfect balance between adventure and relax<\/strong>, combining wildlife encounters, spectacular landscapes and fascinating history<\/strong>. The accommodation we select is carefully chosen<\/strong> to enhance the overall experience: a lodge within Majete Wildlife Reserve<\/strong>, the AfricaWildTruck Eco Lodge & Camp<\/strong> beneath Mount Mulanje, and a beautifully restored colonial house<\/strong> in the heart of Stone Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Should you wish to extend your journey<\/strong>, several options are available. You might choose to spend additional days along Mozambique’s coastline<\/a>, enjoying some of Africa’s most beautiful beaches. Alternatively, if hiking is your passion, we can arrange a trek on Mount Mulanje<\/a>, with one or more overnight stays in mountain huts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, natural beauty and fascinating history, all in a 10-day journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2804,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"modalita-di-viaggio":[45,46,43],"class_list":["post-2145","itinerari","type-itinerari","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","modalita-di-viaggio-family","modalita-di-viaggio-romantic","modalita-di-viaggio-guided"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n10 Days between safari adventures and the Indian Ocean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
