Itinerary

Day 1- 12th April, 2024
Blantyre

Arrive at Blantyre's Chileka International Airport and be met by your guide. Your guide will drive you to Game Haven Lodge where you will spend your first night's accommodation.

Blantyre is Malawi’s oldest city and is the commercial capital of Malawi. Set at an altitude of around 1,000 metres Blantyre has a wonderful climate with warm days and cool evenings. The city is surrounded by mountains, which provide a stunning backdrop to this bustling city. Starting life in 1876 Blantyre was a mission station for The Established Church of Scotland and is named after the small Scottish village of ‘Blantyre’ where David Livingstone was born. Set in the heart of Southern Malawi, Blantyre offers visitors all the modern conveniences of a city, including a cinema! Victoria Avenue is set in the Central Business District of Blantyre and is the place to visit for banks, internet and a good curio market. Blantyre City Market is within walking distance of Victoria Avenue and is worth a visit- particularly to the fruit and vegetables area, be ready to bargain and keep your valuables back at the hotel and not on show! A number of community project visits can be organised for your time in Blantyre. Your accommodation will be at Game Haven Lodge.

Game Haven Lodge is found within the beautiful 500 acre Chimwenya Game Park, part of the Shire Highlands and one of Malawi’s last remaining indigenous forests. Just 25 kilometers from Blantyre making it perfect for a countryside getaway within easy access of the city.

Your accommodation is on dinner, bed and breakfast basis

The organisation and communication around this trip was first class. Everything went smoothly, and the island resort was fantastic. Very friendly staff, and other guests were pleasant and inclusive.

it was more than I even hoped for. excellent guides, fantastic accommodation, All the cultural things we did were amazing. They catered very nicely to me being a vegetarian. The Shire River walk and camping was a highlight for me.

I can’t say enough good things about this trip. It was incredibly smooth sailing, with no glitches at all, and the things that I experienced will stay with me for a lifetime. The accommodations were wonderful, the food was so tasty, and we were catered to at every turn. I certainly can see why they call Malawi the warm heart of Africa. I fully intend to return.

We had a great time, the food was delicious. The hosts were more than accommodating, excellent job by everyone.

The trip was fantastic. I didn't love that we stayed in a Marriott for 2 nights, I think we could have found a better boutique hotel with more charm especially for the cost. Singita was absolutely incredible, the service exceeded all expectations. I think Dom could have communicated better about transfers and I still don't understand why there were extra costs right before the trip started. But overall, the trip was a trip of a lifetime because of the group and the lovely people of Rwanda.
