Travelling through these countries means experiencing nature in some of its most varied and fascinating forms, while also coming into contact with <strong>cultures and traditions that remain deeply authentic.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"12-giorni-di-viaggio-in-malawi-e-zambia\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">12 days in Malawi and Zambia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To discover the <strong>natural and cultural heritage of south-central Africa<\/strong>, we offer a 1<strong>2 day journey through Malawi and Zambia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tour begins at the Africa Wild Truck base, from where we will explore the <strong>foothills of the Mulanje Massif<\/strong>. Local <strong>villages and markets<\/strong>, <strong>tea plantations<\/strong>, short <strong>forest walks<\/strong> and natural attractions such as the <strong>Mbiya Pools<\/strong> and <strong>Likhubula Falls<\/strong> will introduce you to this remarkable region. It will also be an opportunity to learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africawildtruck.com\/en\/around-awt-association-non-profit\/\">social responsibility projects<\/a> that we support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leaving Mulanje behind, we continue towards <strong>Liwonde National Park<\/strong>, which stretches along the <strong>Shire River<\/strong>. The presence of this waterway creates a rich and varied ecosystem that supports an abundance of wildlife. Early mornings and late afternoons are the best times for <strong>game drives<\/strong>, offering opportunities to spot l<strong>arge predator<\/strong>s such as <strong>lions and cheetahs<\/strong>. During a <strong>boat safari<\/strong> on the Shire River, you may encounter <strong>hippopotamuses, crocodiles, elephants, monkey families and impalas<\/strong> gathering along the riverbanks. Liwonde is also recognised as an Important Bird Area (IBA) and is renowned for its <strong>exceptional birdlife<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the banks of the Shire, we travel to the <strong>white and golden beaches of Lake Malawi.<\/strong> Its crystal-clear waters are home to more than <strong>1,000 species of tropical fish<\/strong>, many of them cichlids, creating an extraordinary biodiversity hotspot that can be explored while snorkelling. During your stay on the lake, you will also have the opportunity to visit traditional <strong>fishing villages <\/strong>and observe local fishermen setting out in their canoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final stop in Malawi is <strong>Lilongwe<\/strong> before crossing into Zambia and reaching the <strong>last destination of the journey: South Luangwa National Park. <\/strong>Here we will enjoy both <strong>daytime and night game drives<\/strong>. During the dry season, you may also experience a <strong>walking safari<\/strong>, an activity pioneered in this very park by Norman Carr. South Luangwa protects an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, including more than<strong> 60 mammal species, predator<\/strong>s such as <strong>lions and hyenas<\/strong>, rare packs of <strong>African Wild Dog<\/strong>, large herbivores including zebras, buffalo, elephants and numerous antelope species. The park is also famous for its exceptionally high leopard density and for two endemic species: <strong>Thornicroft&#8217;s Giraffe and Cookson&#8217;s Wildebeest.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the journey, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africawildtruck.com\/en\/destinazioni\/malawi\/\">Malawi<\/a> e <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africawildtruck.com\/en\/destinazioni\/zambia\/\">Zambia<\/a>, accommodation is provided at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africawildtruck.com\/en\/lodge-camp\/\">Africa Wild Truck Lodge &amp; Camp<\/a> and in carefully selected lodges overlooking the Shire River, Lake Malawi and the wilderness of South Luangwa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should you wish to extend your journey, several options are available. You may continue to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africawildtruck.com\/en\/attrazioni\/victoria-falls\/\">Victoria Falls<\/a>, or arrive earlier in Mulanje to allow extra time for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africawildtruck.com\/en\/itinerari\/mount-mulanje-hiking\/\">excursion on Mount Mulanje<\/a>, deeply rooted in Malawian culture and tradition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twelve days exploring south-central Africa through wildlife safaris and encounters with local cultures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2837,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"modalita-di-viaggio":[45,42,46,43],"class_list":["post-2156","itinerari","type-itinerari","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","modalita-di-viaggio-family","modalita-di-viaggio-group","modalita-di-viaggio-romantic","modalita-di-viaggio-guided","sticky"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.5 (Yoast SEO v28.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Malawi and Zambia tour | Africa Wild Truck<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"From game drives and boat safaris to encounters with local cultures, discover the beauty of Malawi and Zambia.
