Victoria Falls, Safari & Lake Malawi Honeymoon Trail View Full Screen Itinerary

8 NIGHTS, 9 DAYS, VIC FALLS, SOUTH LUANGWA SAFARI, LAKE MALAWI PARADISE

Enjoy your honeymoon exploring Zambia and Malawi’s major highlights. Starting at one of the world’s natural wonders, the Victoria Falls; heading onto a safari experience in one of the world’s remaining true wildernesses, South Luangwa – both in Zambia. The trip ends at Lake Malawi staying at Pumulani (literally meaning place of rest) where you can relax and soak in some sun.

Livingstone is home to one of the seven natural wonders of the world, The Victoria Falls, and offers many opportunities, both adrenaline filled and more sedate. There are game-viewing opportunities too, with a chance to see the white rhino in Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park and river trips on the Zambezi River. Combining these three areas in Zambia gives you an exceptional safari.

South Luangwa National Park marks the end of the Great Rift Valley, is one of the last unspoilt wilderness areas and possibly the finest wildlife sanctuary in Africa, through which the meandering Luangwa River runs. The ox bow lagoons, woodland and plains of the valley host huge concentrations of game - including elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion, giraffe, hippo - and over 450 species of birds.

Pumulani on Nankumba Peninsula recognized as one of the most beautiful shores of the Lake and borders Lake Malawi National Park. This Park was established in order to protect the cichlid fish unique to the area. In 1984 the park was designated a World Heritage Site.
