Day 1: Kuthengo Camp

On arrival at Blantyre International Airport, you will be transferred to Kuthengo Camp by road transfer, approximately a 2.5-hour journey. Liwonde National Park is considered to be one of the top birding locations in Southern Africa. The park offers some of the most scenic game viewing, beautiful riverine surroundings, and varied bird watching you could wish to find. A great deal of the terrain is Shire River floodplains, much loved by the healthy population of Elephants in this park. They are best viewed during your boat safari on the Shire River, one of the many highlights of a stay at Kuthengo Camp.

Depending on your arrival time in the day you will enjoy a lunch looking out over the Shire River or if you arrive in the afternoon, you can enjoy afternoon tea and the evening game drive.

Day 2 - 3: Kuthengo Camp

Explore the Shire River and lagoons - an excellent opportunity for sightings of elephants, hippos, crocodiles, and bird life. Birding is rewarding - specialties include Lillian’s lovebird, brown-breasted barbet, osprey, palm nut vulture, Pel's fishing owl, and Livingstone’s flycatcher. Also available is a viewing hide on a tributary of the Shire River and also some interesting visits to the local school and surrounding rural communities.

Day 4: Pumulani

Transfer to Pumulani will be after breakfast, by a beautiful and scenic drive north (around 2.5 hours). Then you will reach the Nankumba Peninsula of Lake Malawi. This is recognized as one of the most beautiful shores of the Lake and borders Lake Malawi National Park. This Park was established to protect the cichlid fish unique to the area. In 1984 the park was designated a World Heritage Site.

Pumulani is exclusively situated on the west side of the Nankumba Peninsula, surrounded by the national park. The ten villas are scattered around the hillside and are individual in shape and style but all have a spacious bedroom, bathroom, and extensive sitting area. The front sliding doors open onto the deck – elevated above the ground giving optimal views. Our remote beach setting is ideal for those who simply want to soak up the sun and swim in the clear blue waters of the lake.

For those who prefer to dive into the swimming pool, there is an infinity pool near the central dining area with grand views over the lake, as well as another infinity pool on the beach level. For those seeking activity, we offer many watersports activities like snorkeling, fishing, sailing, kayaking, waterskiing, wakeboarding, and fun tube rides (all motorized activities are excluded). At the end of the day climb aboard our dhow and let our experienced local crewmen take you sailing into the sunset.

Day 5 - 7: Pumulani

Lake Malawi is the world’s most ecologically diverse lake. Its crystal clear waters are home to more than a thousand species of fish, including hundreds of species of colorful cichlids. We offer special diving courses at the best diving spots near one of the islands. For those who are interested in real Malawian village life, we offer guided walks through one of the local villages. Malawians are renowned for being amongst the friendliest people in Africa and during your stay, you will have the opportunity to experience this for yourself. You can also simply relax in the beautiful and tranquil scenery or enjoy the many other activities.

Day 8: Transit

On the final day of your stay with Pumulani, you bid farewell to the lodge. You will be transferred back to Lilongwe in time for your onward connection.
