Day 1: Mkulumadzi

On arrival at Blantyre International Airport, a guide from Robin Pope Safaris will meet you. The drive to Mkulumadzi is approximately 2.5 hours through colorful local scenes of villages, agriculture as well as bush.

The camp is located on the confluence of the Shire and Mkulumadzi River; within Majete Wildlife Reserve, 70km South West of Blantyre - Southern Malawi. Majete is Malawi’s only Big 5 Reserve and also one of the largest protected areas and covers an area of over 70,000ha.

The reserve is located within the Miombo woodland ecoregion and much of the higher-lying areas in the west of the park are dominated by Miombo/Brachystegia woodland. Mixed Combretum woodlands and mosaics of riparian forest can be found in the East of Majete. You may have an opportunity for an activity today, depending on your arrival time.

Day 2 - 3 : Mkulumadzi

The luxurious lodge is in a stunning location and activities include game drives, boating safaris, bush walks, hiking Majete Hill, black rhino tracking, cultural tours, birding trips on the Shire River, and game-viewing from a hide. Guests are free to be as energetic or as idle as they please although at least one activity per day is encouraged to best enjoy Majete.

Day 4: Huntingdon House

After breakfast and farewells, you will be transferred to Huntingdon House by road transfer to the slopes of Thyolo Mountain. Huntingdon House is situated on the Satemwa Tea Estate; stepping back in time.

Day 5-6: Huntingdon House

These are two full days to explore the surrounding area; a tour of the tea factory, a visit to Mount Mulanje Massif (it rises to 2,380m above sea level), or perhaps a short hike to Dziwe la Nkhalamba rock pool and falls. You set your own pace of how you want to spend your days.

Day 7: Pumulani

Transfer to Pumulani after breakfast. This is a road transfer to 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 a 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 8 - 10 : 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 meet them. You can also simply relax in the beautiful and tranquil scenery or enjoy the many other activities.

On the final day, you will be transferred to Lilongwe in time for your connecting onward flight.
