Malawi Luxury

This morning you will rise and will be transferred to the Liwonde Airstrip for your private charter to Nyika National Park. From the airstrip here you will be met by your guide from Chelinda Lodge to transfer you to the beautiful Chelinda for the next 3 nights of your trip.

Compared to the ‘Scottish highlands’ in Africa, Nyika National Park is home to plenty of plains game, hyena and even the occasional lion and leopard. The park is fabulous for walking safaris, cycling, fly fishing in the numerous freshwater dams and is famed for its spectacular birdlife, like the bar-tailed trogon.

After a day of exciting activities, spend the evening curled up in front of the roaring fire and enjoy a sumptuous three-course meal before retiring to your cosy cabin for a bath in the claw-foot bathtub and enjoy the flames in your own fireplace.

Today you will be transferred back to the Nyika Airstrip for your charter flight to Likoma Island on Lake Malawi. You will stay here for the last three nights of your tour. Settle into your stunning chalet at Kaya Mawa and enjoy a gentle dip in the warm waters of the lake before a well deserved siesta. 

Take advantage of all the exciting water-based activities like kayaking, paddle-boarding, snorkelling, scuba or a sunset cruise. A must see is St Peter’s Cathedral. Said to be the same size as Winchester Cathedral. Its stained-glass windows, crumbling masonry and sheer scale are testament to the zeal of its missionary creators’ religious conviction.

Another thing you should do is visit the Katundu workshop. Entirely run and managed by local women, they create stunning homewares from recycled products found on the island included their famous tumbled-glass chandeliers.
