Travel Itinerary

First Day -

When you land at Chileka International Airport (BLZ) in Blantyre, you'll be greeted by a kind representative from Baseline Travel. They'll assist you in smoothly reaching your cozy stay at Leslie Lodge, where you can relax and get ready for your upcoming activities. The remainder of the day is yours to enjoy at your own pace, whether it's discovering the lodge's facilities or simply unwinding after your travels.

The Second Day - Tranquil Safari Experience in Liwonde Wildlife Reserve

Following a scrumptious breakfast, embark on an adventure to the stunning Liwonde National Park, renowned as a standout achievement in Malawi's conservation efforts. Your accommodation for the upcoming two evenings will be the charming Mvuu Camp, ideally positioned along the shores of the Shire River. Prepare for an unforgettable safari experience ahead.

The Third Day - Serene Waterside Retreat at Makokola Club

Later this morning, following a delightful final breakfast at Mvuu Camp, you will travel towards the stunning shores of Lake Malawi to the east. Your knowledgeable guide from Baseline Travel will accompany you on a leisurely 3-hour drive, offering interesting insights into the local culture and scenery en route. Your ultimate stop is the exquisite Club Makokola, a charming lakeside haven awaiting your arrival. The rest of your day will be spent relaxing on the silky sands, taking a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters, or even trying out some exciting water activities like snorkeling or kayaking. As the day draws to a close, you'll be treated to a mesmerizing Malawian sunset casting its golden hues over the renowned "Lake of Stars."

The Fourth Day - Entering Zambia – Portal to the South Luangwa experience

Following a relaxed morning meal with a view of Lake Malawi, you will say goodbye to the Warm Heart region. Your Baseline Travel appointed guide will accompany you to Lilongwe International Airport (LLW) for your flight to Mfuwe International Airport (MFU) in Zambia. It's important to note that there may be a layover, usually in Lusaka. Upon reaching Mfuwe, a representative from Baseline Travel in South Luangwa will greet you and escort you to the lodge, as well as take you to your safari spot located on the outskirts of the South Luangwa National Park. You'll get settled and gear up for your initial experience of Zambia's renowned wilderness.

The Fifth Day - An Unforgettable Wildlife Expedition at South Luangwa National Park

Experience an exceptional safari at South Luangwa, expertly designed by Baseline Travel to immerse you in the raw beauty of the "birthplace of the walking safari" and the "Leopard Capital of the World." Your time at the luxurious Chikunto Safari Lodge will showcase why this reserve is renowned for its abundant wildlife and untouched landscapes, all meticulously coordinated by our skilled team. Let Baseline Travel handle every aspect, ensuring your days are filled with exciting activities: embark on morning and afternoon game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, guided by our knowledgeable team to spot lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, Crawshay's zebras, and various antelopes across vast plains and verdant forests. As dusk falls, the adventure continues with night drives—an exclusive South Luangwa experience we are delighted to provide—as spotlights illuminate roaming leopards, elusive civets, inquisitive genets, and vigilant owls.

Sixth Day -

After savoring a delightful bush breakfast, you will be transferred to Mfuwe Airport (MFU). If time allows, there may be an opportunity for one more game drive or a leisurely moment at the lodge. As you bid farewell, you will carry with you indelible memories of the hospitality of Malawi and the untamed splendor of Zambia. We are grateful that you selected Baseline Travel for this journey. It has been a privilege for us to organize this experience for you. Until we meet again!

We use 4x4 safari vehicles equipped with pop-up roofs for excellent wildlife viewing and photography. All vehicles are maintained to high safety standards and driven by experienced guides.
