From Johannesburg you will board a direct flight to Beira in Mozambique. These flights depart daily. Upon arrival in Beira you will be met and transferred by road to Gorongosa National Park. You will spend the next 4 nights in this rich piece of undiscovered wilderness.
Gorongosa is an ongoing rehabilitation project run by a non-profit US organization in conjunction with the Mozambique government. The area is ecologically unique, situated at the Southern most point of the Great African Rift Valley.
The Camp is seasonal due to heavy rains in the summer months so is in operation early May through to mid December. A tented camp with all the trimmings you need for a comfortable stay in the African wilds - en suite eco friendly accommodation, fine dining under the wide African sky, lounging and hammocks and of course the evening camp fire to wind down the day.
Activities include a range of morning walks and evening game drives, sundowners and brunches in remote locations with stunning backdrops, boating or canoeing and local village visits to keep the balance.
Transferring around Mozambique does take time so the day today is about getting you to the remote shores of Lake Malawi.
A scenic drive through the country side to Beira where you board a local flight to Lichinga. You have about a 4 ½ hour scenic drive from Lichinga to the remote paradise that is Nkwichi Lodge. The lodge is nestled on the white sandy shores of Lake Malawi - Mozambique side - this is an unmatched paradise.
A 5 night stay in one of the tucked away 6 chalets will make you forget anything else exists. Complete privacy and luxury, uniquely made from all natural materials, each chalet is enormous. With private thatched veranda's, outside baths, hammocks and armchairs and a huge 4 poster bed you can truly revitalize the soul.
There is plenty for you to do on the shores of the lake if activity is your preference. The local community is also hugely involved in the lodge and just by staying; you are contributing to many livelihoods. Walking, bird watching, Likoma Island tours, swimming, snorkeling and canoeing are just some of the many activities to choose from.
You will leave this paradise with a heavy heart and transfer to Lilongwe, Malawi's capital city.
From here you will get a direct flight to Johannesburg to connect to your International outbound flight.
