Lake Malawi, Malawi
As we board our truck this morning, we head for Malawi, the warm heart of Africa. A unique “on-truck” safari experience takes us through the wonders of the Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve, one of the oldest and largest national parks in Malawi, traversing the awe-inspiring landscapes of the park. Watch out for elephants and zebras in the vast plains of the park. It is our intention to spend the evening on the shores of Lake Malawi, the southernmost lake in the East African Rift System. There are more species of fish in this lake than in any other lake in the world, since it is one of the ten largest in the world. The lake extends over 500 kilometers along the western frontier of Malawi, making it one of the ten largest lakes in the world. This natural wonder is our home for the night.
Our focus today is on the lake, and we have reserved this day for you to relax on the shore. During your free time, you may enjoy reading a book, taking in the sun, or taking part in one of the many recreational activities available. An optional hike to the nearby Dwanbazi Waterfall may be arranged with a local guide if you wish. This waterfall offers a breath-taking view from its summit, and is just a 30-minute drive from Nglala Beach Hotel. There is also the possibility that we will have the opportunity to take a refreshing swim in the pristine waters surrounded by the lush greenery and natural splendor of the surrounding area, depending on the weather.
