Join the Lake of Stars Road Trip Malawi!
Join the road trip of a lifetime and support a well deserving charity when you book this trip! A portion of your tour price will be donated to the Mphatso Children’s Foundation in Malawi.
The project is headed up by Robben who is an inspiration to all of us in the work she does, the effort and dedication is put in to feed nearly 1000 children each day. Robben provides a sanctuary for these underprivileged children purely supported by donations , including a church in Australia. A bowl of nutritious porridge only costs 5 cents, and by us taking up 9 people on the roadie we will help feed a lot of hungry bellies.
The highlight of the road trip is the Lake of Stars World Music Festival hosted on the sunny shores of Lake Malawi, Africa’s 3rd largest fresh water lake. The two week road trip covers 8000 kilometers expedition style through South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malawi & Mozambique, and is a charity event in support of the Lake of Stars Organization and the Mphatso Children’s Foundation in Malawi.
The Lake of Stars Road Trip is a camping trip that runs expedition style with professional crew in a custom built 11 seater 4×4 overland vehicle complete with cooking and camping equipment. The charity road trip visits highlights including; the Limpopo Province (SA), Lake Chivero Recreational Park (Zimbabwe), Blantyre (Malawi), Lake Malawi (Malawi), Vilanculos & the Bazaruto Islands (Mozambique), Tofo Beach (Mozambique) and the bustling capital city of Mozambique, Maputo.
The Road Trip officially starts and ends in Johannesburg, but we will transit from Cape Town, so if you know of anyone that wants to join us on the roadie to Lake of Stars from Cape Town and help make a difference, let us know guys!!
